I think having your parents estate liquidated for medical bills can be considered an aspect of "generational debt."
Even ignoring monetary inheritance or real estate, items of sentimental value that would otherwise be bequeathed can be lost due to medical debt.
While strictly true that the debt cannot be inherited, the debt is in the way of anything else being inherited.
