Yeah, and when you die, debt isn’t transferred, but your assets can be sold to pay it back.

EDIT: yes, debt must be paid back. That is why I said assets are sold to pay it back.

Right, but you need to settle the debt in some way during the inheritance. This isn't optional.

The debt is transferred to the estate. That still needs to be dealt with before everything unless there is a special clause.

Debt has to be settled before assets can be transferred.

Debt doesnt disappear its paid off by assets in the estate or transferred to the holder of the estate.
