My mom wants to kill herself/is going to die soon and is currently in a lot of debt. Should I intervene and get her to live as long as possible, further increasing her medical debt? Should I keep being distant and just collect my inheritance when it happens? Will her debt follow or is there some way to circumvent that? I know she's already past the 2yr clause for suicide on her life insurance so that's all fine, but how does inheritance work in general? Am I going to have to fight my brothers and family for inheritance? I'm pretty positive her will is clear who gets what, but my family is pretty amoral. And my brothers are still minors, can I snatch their inheritance away? Would I have to take care of them, or can I drop them off at a distant relative?
I really want nothing to do with any of this, but I know I'm gonna get pulled in sooner or later so I might as well figure out as much as I can. I'm in Arizona if that helps.
Oh, and what about institutionalizing her? How much is that gonna cost me? Is it even viable if she's dying? All this is overwhelming, has anyone been in a similar situation?

If a person dies, their debt is taken out of their estate before it can be assessed and given out in a will.
Better make sure she has more stuff than debt.
Does she have/can you see the will?
Did you know you you can will your debt to your kids?
Oh, and I suppose you shouldn't let her kill herself.

And if I disclaim this "gift", along with all other beneficiaries? Just dies along with her and the state takes everything?
