All I’m going to say is don’t pay anything at all unless it’s been through probate and assets have been itemized on paper. I have a friend who pays $1 a month for a spleen removal. I have one who got a $32,000 dollar bill for a helicopter ride and had full coverage blue cross/blue shield. You’ll get bills for more than a year but unless he/she had money or assets it’ll eventually get covered. Anything that’s of any value put it in an escrow account.

Also worth noting that unless the OP's name is attached to the estate then not paying the bill will not affect his/her credit score, and UVM med can go suck a dick.

It's always good to keep in mind that any time a creditor threatens you, there is still only so much they can do. So unless they can come after you personally, I say let them send the notices and beg all they want. By the end the calendar year it becomes nothing more than a loss/write-off for them anyway.
