Can you be sued for hospital bills of a parent 13 years after there death in ny?

Generally, in New York, the debts of a deceased person do not pass on to their children or other family members. This means that you are not responsible for paying for your parent's hospital bills if they died 13 years ago.

However, there are a few exceptions to this rule.

One exception is if you co-signed or guaranteed your parent's hospital bills.

If you did this, you may be financially responsible for the payments. Another exception is if you inherit property or assets from your parent that have value enough to cover the hospital bills. If you have inherited such property or assets, the creditors may attempt to recover the bill amounts from these inherited estates. To determine potential legal obligations or responsibilities in your specific situation, consult with an attorney experienced in estate and debt.
