I think that the remainderman could still be responsible for the hospital debt, if the person has any life insurance I think it could come from there. But in North Carolina, where I am from,a home could not be foreclosed due to medical expenses, they show on your credit but usually can not effect it so we speak. It is a necessity(health care) almost everyone has medical debt, I wouldn't worry too much. I have worked in the medical field and now I am a broker and I wouldn't be too concerned. Sometimes before closing on a new home they will have you prove that you are paying on it or pay it off, but in the occurance of a death that is different.

The debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate. The hospital can certainly put a lien against the estate for their money. Anyone that was also a co-signer on any of the agreements might also be responsible. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.

Your brother and sister-in-law have been deceased for a ye ar how long can debtors try to collect?
Debtors MAY have a legitimate claim against the deceased persons. However they must file their claim against the ESTATE(s) of the deceased persons, not against any particular individual. Unless someone who is still alive co-signed a note or a loan, the creditors have no other claim on anyone, or anything, except the estate that the deceased left behind.

Unless the survivors signed some type of contract or agreement to be responsible for the deceased's medical bills, it is the deceased's ESTATE which is liable for the expense. The medical suppliers should first file a claim against the insuror and THEN proceed against the deceased's estate for any unpaid remainder - NOT the survivors.
