>> Generally, debts do not die with a person. ... That means that debts survive death; however, it does not follow that creditors may go after the decedent's heirs' in their personal capacity. Creditors may only go after the estate of the decedent, effectively reducing the heirs' shares, if any, in such estate. This is actually true. If a person owed a credit card, say, $100,000, and his estate has sufficient resources to pay it, that debt by law must be paid. But after the estate is resolved (closed), there is no recourse. Period. Had my grandad been wealthy and left me $1,000,000, there can be no valid claim against that money in my hands after his estate is closed. Unpaid debts die. It is in that sense like a bankruptcy estate. Debts cannot survive past the estate. ALL THIS ASIDE. What WAS your point then, if not payment? At the very least you were rationalizing payment of money through government as an intermediary. If that is not what you intended, can you in a sentence or two form a cogent explanation of what exactly you think is due descendants of slaves if not money?
