Are we liable to pay my father’s personal loan?

My father took a loan without informing us, and after his death, his friend filed a recovery suit against my family. My father had no estate, and my mother receives a government family pension. Are we liable to pay the loan from our personal property?

You and your family are not liable to pay the loan from personal property unless the loan was a secured debt or there are assets in your father's name. Family pension is typically exempt from being attached to repay personal loans. Consult a lawyer to verify your specific situation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
