The 'ol "he said if he died I don't owe anything" story will simply not get far here even if it were true. This will revlve around the terms and condition of the loan paperwork and you may well simply owe the money to the estate. You may want to hire a lawyer and see if you can negotiate a lesser amount paid in settlement if possible.
