In West Virginia, as in all states, the estate is responsible for all the debts of the deceased. That means before the estate can be settled, all debts have to be cleared. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, there are some people who will not get paid.

The laws may vary from state to state but typically anyone over the age of 18 is responsible for their own bills and the parents are not. An unpaid medical bill is no different from any other unpaid bill. When the bills of your deceased adult child begin to show up, normally you can write "Deceased" on the envelope and mail it back to the company. Check with a lawyer in your state to be sure.
