Yes, they probably can. The debt pre-dated the transfer of property. You need to be very careful in trying to protect your interest. If you are in any way determined to be hiding or trying to eliminate procurement of assets from a lien or judgment, you could be charged with a crime. Just wait until they are finished with all their work, do not lie or omit information from inquiries, and do not even try to borrow money on the property, sell it, rent it, or anything that could be construed as converting income to yourself.
No and Yes. The estate is responsible for the medical bills of the deceased. And since the spouse is normally the recipient of the estate, the bills will affect how much the spouse will inherit.

Other assets may have to be liquidated to pay the bills, including medical expenses and funeral costs.

If the deceased person is your wife then I think you are responsible for her medical bills
Oregon is not a community property state. Therefore the surviving spouse is only responsible for the deceased spouse's medical bills if he or she entered into a financial agreement with the attending hospital and/or physicians or other such agencies.
Unless the survivors signed some type of contract or agreement to be responsible for the deceased's medical bills, it is the deceased's ESTATE which is liable for the expense. The medical suppliers should first file a claim against the insuror and THEN proceed against the deceased's estate for any unpaid remainder - NOT the survivors.
