The estate has the responsibility to settle all debts, including medical bills. The estate can demand the money back from the husband. Once that is done, then remainder can be distributed to the beneficiaries.

My wife died and her mother left her everything who will get it her living sister or me?
Did the mother have a will? Or did she die intestate (without a will)? And did the mother die before or after your wife? It could make a difference in some places. If your mother-in-law died before your wife, and her will left it all to your wife, the money will go into your wife's estate. If the mother-in-law's estate had already been settled, it will already be in your wife's estate. The will should dispose of wife's property, including inheritance, if any. Without a will, state laws of intestacy will determine what, if anything, a surviving sibling gets beyond what surviving spouse (and any children) get. See a probate attorney immediately for details on your case.
