I think it is important to raise awareness about Filial Responsibility Laws which hold children accountable for the debts of parents. More than half of US state have laws on the books which enable debt holders to go after assets outside of the deceased's estate.

It is becoming increasingly common for nursing homes to bring suits against adult children of their residents.
