In most cases 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 there is not enough to cover the bills, they should present a plan to the court as to how they will distribute what is available. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.
