All assets and debts are considered part of the estate of a deceased person. Debts will be handled according to probate laws according to their priority and to the extent of available nonexempt assets that can be used or liquidated for repayment. Family members are not accountable for the repayment of medical/hospital costs unless they signed a agreement accepting the responsibility.
