More details to this question:
The debt was incurred between the parents before they died and the parent's siblings. It was not written in a legal document, but was discussed in emails. No officially written contract exists. Do the deceased's children inherit this personal debt to pay to their parents siblings?

Hi,
The children do not inherit the debt, but the creditor would still likely have a claim against the parent's estate. What are the specifics?
Thanks,Jon
