The person who receives the benefits of an estate also receives many of the burdens. Otherwise people would just amass lots of debt before they die and buy tangible things like gold, so their heirs would get a bunch of gold but have no debt.

It’s very unfortunate when the surviving heirs don’t know about the debt, or the extent of the debt.
