Every state has different laws regarding dying without a will (there's a legal term for it-- it's intestate or something like that). Generally the assets go to the next of kin, but it's up to the executer to make sure that all debts are paid off first. If there's not enough in the estate to cover the debts, not sure what happens at that point. But even if you did have a will, before all your assets are given out, the debts are paid off.

For me... I'd go into denial... I wouldn't accept that there was anything that was wrong with me.. and I would live for another 50 years. (It's often been said I am too mean to die
I wouldn't change the person I am -- I wouldn't all of a suddent go wild and start dancing on the bar, or doing a strip tease down main street. I'd retain my hermit lifestyle and just keep going, and research all I could to find out all I could about this disorder I've been given.
