Debt Responsibility on spouse's death

Jurisdiction: 

Area of Law: 

Question: 

My husband and I have always kept our money separate except for a joint checking account we both fund for living expenses. My husband has passed away and my question is am I responsible for his debts? In the past my husband went through a bankruptcy; my assets were not touched and were separate. Note the house is in my name only and was purchased by me
