Unfortunately, yes. If you were married when these bills occurred then yes you are responsible. It is like property of a married couple- anything that is acquired during a marriage belongs to both of you. So if these bills were acquired during your marriage then yes you are responsible. If your wife were still alive you would be held liable if you were still married. So just because she is deceased does not change this, Sorry.
If the deceased person is your wife then I think you are responsible for her medical bills
yes

In Virginia, as in all states, the estate is responsible for all the debts of the deceased. That means before the estate can be settled, all medical bills have to be cleared. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, the husband may not get anything.
