What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WI

HI,

My mother-in-law passed away in 2007. We sold her house in November 2009. It went through probate and now there is a local hospital that is saying she owes $2000 from 1988. Can they collect this money?

Thank you!
Miranda

Did they file a creditor claim on the estate while open? Did they have a lien on the house?

Actually, they may have waited to long to act on a debt from '88 IF there were no filings until now. That debt is more than 20 years old.

When was probate completed?
