Step-dad just died and my mother(64) is left with about $275k in his hospital bills. He didn't have life insurance/etc.
She sold their former house in CA, and moved out of state.
She's adamant in paying off the entire $275k hospital bill in cash, with fear from creditors and for some odd reason, the IRS (no idea why).
I already told her to consult with an estate attorney to consider her options. At least haggle with the hospital creditors and try and negotiate the balance down.
Any tips and suggestions please?
