My brother is the executor of my fathers estate in which there is a living trust. Recently, my brother was in a severe accident where the bills mounted to over 1.5 million. He only had 15,000 of his own cash to pay and the balance is outstanding. What will happen when our father dies? Will the cash he stands to inherit go to the hospitals. He had no insurance and the accident was a hit and run. Do you have any suggestions? Would he fare better if our father changed the will and left him the house instead of the money since he has no place to live. Thank you
