Father's responsibility for Deceased Child's debts

[wanttohelp]

What is the name of your state? New Mexico

My husband's 50-year old son recently died without a will and incured a lot of medical bills. He and my husband have been estranged for years. Will my husband be responsible for his debts as next of kin? The mother of this son had been deceased for a number of years.

No he is not. They unfortunately will have to remain unpaid.
