Hi, both my grandmother & her 2nd husband are in an assisted living home. She is 99 years old & is basically a bed patient. He has money & a house, she has a house. In his will he left everything to his boys. If he dies 1st is he still responsible for her assisted living home bill? Her house is on the market, but has not sold. They live in Virginia. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
His estate is responsible up until the time of his death. Even if he left everything to his boys she still has a right to a portion of his estate and the assisted living home or state could possibly intervene to claim her portion. If they are on Medicaid, Medicaid will likely lein the houses.

There is no way to know for sure until you probate his estate and see who claims.
