However, one exception to a debt is fraud. That occurs when someone incurs a debt, knowing they can't repay it. I have never heard of a medical provider claiming fraud, but it is possible.
You should be aware that children can be held liable for the medical bills of their parents. That is rarely claimed and there are exceptions, but is is also possible.
If your Dad's house has significant equity, it would be at risk in a bankruptcy, anyway. Feel free to call or e-mail me on a free initial basis to discuss this further.
