She owned a farm worth 3 tomrs the bill. They csn put a lean against it.It's doubtful that mom saddled her heirs with anything. This bill will probably never get paid.
It's doubtful that mom had a lot assets that needed to be probated. All her heirs would need to do is avoid probate.
Still not worth the risk. Medicaid would have carved out her premium and paid it for her.
