Actually Harry it does not...they can go after your estate in civil litigation.. This happened to the family of a colleague(physician) of mine who was sued after his demise by those bottom feeders known as personal injury lawyers

A friend of mine had to deal with that years back. Her mother had been a psychiatrist working in a state mental facility. One of her patients was a suicidal depressive who finally achieved his desire when he was murdered by another patient. The victim's family had shown conspicuous lack of concern for him when he was still arrive, but appeared like a swarm of piranhas accompanied by sharks when he was dead, and there was a possibility of a pot of gold at the end of a negligence suit rainbow.
The state paid for Mom's malpractice and liability coverage, but Mom hadn't been very good about record keeping, and the estate was in a mess. It took my friend months to get it sorted.
