He was looking for a wife.
Mr. Collins came to visit the Bennet family at their estate in order to fulfill his obligation as the nearest male relative to inherit the Bennet property, as well as to find a suitable wife among the Bennet daughters as advised by his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
As he stood to inherit the estate, he thought that by marrying one of the girls he might "soften the blow" of the rest of the family loosing the estate after Mr. Bennet's death.
It is unfortunate for Mr. Bennett's daughters because, as females, they are unable to inherit the family estate due to the rules of entailment. This places them in a vulnerable position, as they are at the mercy of whoever will inherit the estate, likely a distant male relative.
If the estate has no assets, then technically no one is responsible. If the hospital (or whoever the money is owed to) decides to sue, they'd be suing the estate, which has no money, which is just pointless. The family can pay for the medical bills, but I don't think it's necessary. If you are the Executor of an estate, you should probably meet with an attorney anyway. This is the reason to create an estate. It provides an opportunity to gather all the debts, pay off whatever the estate can pay off, and have the rest officially closed off so that the debtors don't keep bugging the family.
The expression refers to a family with a first born son and a younger sister . The reason is because the son would inherit the estate undivided and the younger sister could be married off for wealth or allegiances. .
The only reason a beneficiary would add money to an estate would be if they owed money to the estate at the death of the deceased.

That is the reason you open an estate! The probate process will resolve the ownership under the laws of intestacy.
No. Paying the taxes is their legal obligation and they may lose their life estate if they fail to pay. That action would provide the fee owner or remainders a reason to take the life estate to court for termination.No. Paying the taxes is their legal obligation and they may lose their life estate if they fail to pay.

All the more reason to open an estate. The estate has to pay all of the debts off if possible. If the estate doesn't have the assets to do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court signs off on the distribution, the debts are ended.
Genetics is the reason in our family.
