The estate will be responsible for the bills. The spouse indirectly will pay, as they cannot inherit until they are resolved.
No and Yes. The estate is responsible for the medical bills of the deceased. And since the spouse is normally the recipient of the estate, the bills will affect how much the spouse will inherit. Some of the assets, such as property held as Tenants in the Entirety, becomes the property of the spouse. Other assets may have to be liquidated to pay the bills, including medical expenses and funeral costs.
The spouse is not directly responsible, unless they have co-signed for the services. The estate is responsible for settling all medical bills in Indiana. So before the spouse can inherit anything, the estate has to pay the bills.
