can inharited property be seised for wifes hospital bills
Answer
It depends on how the property was inherited and how the claims for bills are asserted. Generally after someone dies an estate is open and creditors are notified. Assets are used to pay bills in a particular order. If there is money left over after the bills are paid, it is distributed to the heirs.
If you mean instead can property one inherits be attached by the creditors of the person who inherits, in many cases yes. In some cases depending on how the inheritance is set up (say if it is in a trust with spendthrift provisions) creditors might not be able to touch it, but this is a very fact specific area of law and you are encouraged to seek legal counsel on the details of your particular situation.
