It is possible, if they received assets from their parents, or if they signed as being responsible for the debt.

Not unless they received property from the parents' estates, or agreed to be responsible by agreement with the medical providers.

Not unless they co-signed on any financial liabilities. The estate will be liable subject to certain family allowances.
