In Tennessee the debts of the deceased, including hospital bills, are the responsibility of the estate. The estate, or its beneficiary should reimburse any valid debtors before giving any of the assets away. If the estate has been closed, there should be no further claims. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.

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.

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.

Your mother died 11 months ago you have been receiving medical bills who pays them all the money is gone?
If the deceased left an estate the medical bills along with all other debts will be handled according to the state probate laws. If the deceased left no assets that can be used to pay debts, the debts become null and void. Surviving family members are not responsible for medical bills unless they signed an agreement with the hospital, physician(s) or care facility. The one exception is if the deceased left a spouse and the married couple resided in a community property state. Although in several CP states such laws will not apply to the payment medical bills directly connected to the death of of a spouse.
