Re: Widow responsibility
The surviving spouse is not necessarily responsible for the medical bills, unless he/she has signed an agreement to be financially responsible for these bills. The hospital/doctors would have a claim against the estate of the decedent as creditors. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
