Your dad passed are you responsible for his medical bills?
Depending on the jurisdiction, the executor of the deceased person's will is generally responsible for paying all remaining bills from his estate. So if you are your father's executor (and the executor is normally named in the will) then you are usually responsible for paying his debts which will often include his final medical bills. There may be exceptions depending on the location and other circumstances. I'm not a lawyer; I don't even play one on TV. Consult a lawyer specializing in estate law.

If you claim insolvent on property of your deceased parents who is responsible for paying the lawyer the deceased parent had for their last will and testimont and probate?
Apparently your parents had a will. They wanted a particular lawyer to probate the will. When they died, they had nothing. In that case, there is no point in probating the will and no one needs to pay to probate the will. If there was property, then the property can be sold. The estate pays the lawyer.
What if a person was given permission to store property while probate of the will took place and now refuses to relenquish property?
If the person refuses to return the property as agreed, the legal owner or executor of the estate can take legal action against them. This may involve filing a lawsuit for the return of the property or seeking a court order to force them to relinquish it. It's important to consult with a lawyer to understand the specific legal steps and options available in this situation.

Can a lawyer keep a will from someone?
Lawyers have specific instructions and regulations regarding who they share the contents of the will with. After someone dies, the contents are shared with the beneficiaries and interested parties only. The above answer is correct, so here are just a few details for which the answer was flagged: Before the testator dies a lawyer can keep a will from everyone except the testator if the testator wants it back. After the testator dies, a lawyer can keep a will from everyone except the named executor or other person who has the first obligation to probate the will. After the testator dies, a lawyer representing an executor can keep a will from everyone, even beneficiaries, if the executor directs the lawyer to not to give it out. The lawyer has to go by the client's directives, even though they may be misguided. The lawyer will tell the executor that it is the executor's obligation to give the will to beneficiaries; but it is the executor's obligation to give out the will. The lawyer does not act independently of the executor. Lastly, there is no "law" that specifies whether a lawyer can or cannot keep a will from someone. The above two answers are what I believe to be accurate interpretations of a lawyer's obligations on client confidentiality and scope of authority in representing a client.
