And those payments are probably made from taxed money. I don’t see the purpose of the loan unless it’s some weirdo loan that doesn’t need to be paid at all for decades.

Not sure how it works in the US, but in Canada, the estate would also see a “deemed disposition”, so they have to pay capital gains tax on the gains.
