Re: Family Debt Responsibility
Generally speaking No. Sometimes nursing homes & hospitals lead surviving children to believe that they owe the money. This is false unless you agree to pay the money. So usually some administrator person comes out with a piece of paper tells you you owe the money then while you are still reeling from the loss of a parent they have you sign a paper. Then they have you.

The parent's estate, not you, is responsible.
