The spouse is not personally responsible for the medical bills, unless they co-signed them. However, the estate is responsible. Which means that the estate may be depleted, and the may spouse not inherit anything.
my mother in law died last year and her husband was responsible for her medical bills. Over $200,000.
Not individually, but the deceased's estate may well be subject to being charged for the expenses not covered by any existing insurance.
If the exact wording is "to my surving children", then all other children who predeceased the testator or out.
That is the normal distribution. If there are others on the deed that may affect things. And a spouse normally has a right to the property for at least a life estate.
In Mississippi, the estate must resolve all debts including medical bills. Until that is done, the spouse cannot inherit anything.
No, the estate is responsible for the mortgage. This sounds like a case for getting the estate set up and get the house sold as quickly as possible.

It depends on the specific details laid out in the will and the laws of the jurisdiction. In some cases, property left in a will may go to the surviving spouse, while in other cases, it may be distributed according to the deceased person's wishes as outlined in the will.
