If the sister-in-law is the wife of the deceased husband and the property was signed over to him before his death, then she may have an interest in it that give her a right to seek possession of it.
If the sister-in-law is the sister of the husband who is now deceased, then the specifics of the property transfer and of the husband's will, among other things will determine whether she has any rights to the property. Consult a lawyer who is licensed to practice where the property is located.

Any transfer of an interest in real property should be drafted by an attorney who is familiar with the laws in your state.

The estate is going to be responsible for any bills. But the assumption is that the wife inherits the husband's assets. One way or another, the spouse ends up paying the debt. The spouse has some right in all real property owned by the husband. If the assets are not enough to cover the debt, the real property may have a lien placed against it to cover those debts.
Is the surviving spouse responsible for the medical bills of a deceased spouse in Oregon?
Texas is a community property state which means that spouses are usually held equally responsible for debts incurred during the marriage even when only one spouse is the account holder. However, this may not apply to the outstanding medical bills of a deceased spouse unless the surviving spouse signed a written agreement with the health care provider(s) to accept said responsibility. This is especially true if the deceased spouse was receiving Medicare and/or Medicaid assistance.
