The debts of the parents are paid by the parent's estate, not their children.
no
The estate will be responsible, not the children. They will not be able to inherit until they are resolved.
If the exact wording is "to my surving children", then all other children who predeceased the testator or out.
It is not the parents but the estate that is responsible for any remaining debts. That will include medical bills. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, someone will not get paid and the heirs may get nothing.
That depends on the State the will is probated in. For instance, in New Jersey, an adult child has no rights to a parents estate if he was not mentioned in the will. The parent has the right to give his possessions to a charity if he wishes to do so.
Certainly.
No, the estate is responsible for the medical bills of the deceased. Only after they are resolved can the estate be closed any remainder distributed.
The children share equally in the estate. If there are any children who predeceased the last parent to die and if those children left children of their own, then those grandchildren would inherit the share that their parent would have inherited and he/she not predeceased.
She is a child and not worth any money. Her parents have whatever they have gained. Children don't have a interest in the parents estate until the parents die.
Children are not responsible for their parents debts unless the co-signed for them. One of the primary reasons someone should open an estate is to resolve debts. The estate has to pay off the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.
Report it to law enforcement.
