To obtain medical records for your deceased mother from Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, you will need to contact their Health Information Management (HIM) department. Typically, you'll be required to provide proof of your identity and your relationship to the deceased, along with a completed authorization form. It's advisable to check their website or call the hospital for specific instructions and any necessary documentation they may require. Additionally, be prepared to provide her full name, date of birth, and date of death to facilitate the request.
Medical records are typically destroyed within 7-10 years, so it's unlikely that you could get your mother's medical records from 1997.

Of course, you will have to have a legitimate reason to have access to her records. I don't know what your reason is. If you are planning a malpractice suit against your mother's doctor, then the courts can subpoena the records.
In most cases the debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate. Anyone that was also a co-signer of the medical agreements might also be responsible. Consult a probate attorney in your jurisdiction for help.
