Short answer
Death does not normally extinguish a money debt automatically. Assess the obligation, acceptance of inheritance and heirs’ liability limits. Being a relative does not itself create personal debtor status.
Practical example
A child is asked to repay a parent’s entire debt from salary. First establish whether inheritance was accepted and the extent of liability.
What to do
The creditor should gather loan documents, balance and deadlines; heirs should document estate assets and debts. Check special estate-creditor time limits. Do not acknowledge personal liability without assessment.
