Why Every parent needs a will?
For parents, making a will is the single most important thing you can do to make sure your child is cared for by the people you would choose if anything should happen to you. In your will, you can designate a person (guardian) to care for your children if you die before they become legal adults.
Who is next of kin when a parent dies?
If you die intestate with no spouse or children who survive you but with one or both parents who survive you, then your parents are your “next of kin.” Likewise, if you die intestate with no spouse, children, or parents who survive you but with siblings who survive you, then your siblings are your “next of kin.”
Do medical bills get passed to next of kin?
Your medical bills don’t go away when you die, but that doesn’t mean your survivors have to pay them. Instead, medical debt—like all debt remaining after you die—is paid by your estate.
Who pays hospital bills if you die?
In most cases, the deceased person’s estate is responsible for paying any debt left behind, including medical bills. If there’s not enough money in the estate, family members still generally aren’t responsible for covering a loved one’s medical debt after death — although there are some exceptions.

Why do people die with their mouth open?
When you die, your muscles all relax. Your mouth falls open because the muscles are no longer taut to keep it closed. The vast majority of deaths I have seen have had the mouth open. In GENERAL, muscles relax, including the muscles that hold the jaw closed.
Why do they drain your blood when you die?
The features will plump out slightly and the deceased will look less drawn. If a body is going abroad, the strength and amount of fluid used is increased, to ensure preservation and sanitation for a longer period. After the formaldehyde, I drain the body of blood and fluid from the organs and chest cavity.
