Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
My Father had a bill for rehab and my mother continued to pay it after he passed away. My Mother has now passed away and I need to know if the family is still responsible for it. We have not paid anything since my Mother's passing.

It seems like that would be an estate debt which would have to be paid [assuming the estate is solvent].
It may depend on the reimbursement agreement entered into by your mother or father. See if you can get a copy of the agreements signed by your parents and let me or another lawyer take a look at them. If you would like to make an appointment, please contact 732-663-1500. Mention law guru and we will waive our consultation fee.
I agree that while there is no personal liability to the heirs, it might be an estate debt that will have to be paid from the assets comprising your mother's estate. I agree that any agreement should be reviewed to see what responsibility your mother assumed, if any, as this might impact on her estate's responsibility to pay.
