If the deceased left an estate the medical bills along with all other debts will be handled according to the state probate laws. If the deceased left no assets that can be used to pay debts, the debts become null and void. Surviving family members are not responsible for medical bills unless they signed an agreement with the hospital, physician(s) or care facility. The one exception is if the deceased left a spouse and the married couple resided in a community property state. Although in several CP states such laws will not apply to the payment medical bills directly connected to the death of of a spouse.

No. Mississippi is not a community property state. The state does, however, have a rather obscure "necessities" statute which pertains to those items purchased solely by a spouse on credit that can be defined as needed by the married couple as a whole. The statute is subject to many interpretations and therefore almost impossible for a creditor to use as a means of collecting debt owed from a surviving spouse.

When surviving parent is declared incompetent and there is no will left by deceased parent does it go to state or to children?
The legal phrase for this situation is dying "intestate," and the laws of that particular state will have to be followed. Whether the surviving spouse is "incompetent" or not, is probably immaterial. If they were still legally married, or this is a 'community property' state, or they owned property and assets as a married couple (known by a variety of legal descriptions in various states) then the surviving spouse would probably inherit before the children did. If LEGALLY declared incompetent the probate court would probably appoint a 'trustee' to administer the surviving spouse's inheritance.
