What is the name of your state? Illinois
Mother was resident of and killed in Illinois. Executor named in will is eldest sibling of 4. Car accident that killed mother and two others. Police report places all negligence on other vehicle/party. The 2 others, killed in accident, are suing for wrongful death. Our oldest sibling is unwilling to do that (isn't even willing to discuss it with the rest of us) and is willing to let the hospital "take the loss" on tens of thousands of dollars. (Mom was in ICU) for several days before passing. Can the rest of the siblings be held accountable for any hospital bills if the Executor chooses to not go after the other party for negligence?
