The laws may vary from state to state but typically anyone over the age of 18 is responsible for their own bills and the parents are not. An unpaid medical bill is no different from any other unpaid bill. When the bills of your deceased adult child begin to show up, normally you can write "Deceased" on the envelope and mail it back to the company. Check with a lawyer in your state to be sure.
