    At least it’s that way in Germany

    My father died 2 years ago and my sister and I had to pay for construction at the house he signed off a month before his death even though we didn’t want that and both our lawyers said there’s no way to get out of that unless you deny the whole inheritance

      You’re talking about inheritance though. Inheritance also works likes that in the US as well. But inheritance is a whole different can of worms legally than what is being talked about in the article and even then what debt does and doesn’t get passed on is fuzzy. Sorry about your loss though
