Real estate lawyers...someone has a comercial lease agreement and he is named as...

I would think the guarantee was not community property if it was a simple one.

Some specifically encompass all heirs of the guarantor in case of his death to follow the assets.

A real estate attorney will be required along with copies of the lease and guarantee addendum if it is not in the body of the lease.

Why would she be the guarantor? Did she sign the agreement as well?

well when she married him she did and is responsible for his debts as well.

now the tricky part is since this was a "pre-marriage" contract,, not sure if she would be responsible for anything before the marriage

Caveat: I don't do this type of law, but know enough to be dangerous. Also, there isn't enough info here for anyone to give you a perfect answer, so consult an attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction.

First thing - if it's Louisiana, the pre-marriage personal guarantee of the husband is presumed to be a separate (not community) debt.

But you have to look at the lease to see what it provides for. It's possible that the guarantee may be revoked upon the death of the husband. It's also possible that the lease specifically addresses that the lease is continuing, not revoked by death, and/or that the guarantee extends to the executors, etc. of the husband, i.e., a claim can be made on his estate.
