Is the son/family liable to pay father's debt after expiry

All of you are to clear the debts.

The debt of deceased is to be paid out his estate inherited.

The lender (relative) has not yet moved to Court, nothing can be presumed at this stage. Consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts, analyse, guidance and proceeding professsionally.

It appears from your name that you are Hindu.  The most pious obligation of son in Hindu law is to pay debts of father (on presumption that such person who borrows money and fails to repay gets rebirth as a Dog in the house of that person who has lent the money, and children do not want their father to take birth of dog) and whether they inherit or not keeping the family prestige and religious custom, they pay the amount.   Even in lower costs this bonded labor persisted for several years.

Coming to law, if you share a property, you are bound to share such liabilities also.

The legal heirs are liable for the debts of the deceased, llimited to the estate they have inherited.

Thank you sir for the response. But my father has registered his property to my mother 4 months before he passed away. And we have not inherited anything from my father after his expiry. So, will we still liable for the debts?

Your father gifted one-third to your mother.    What about the remaining two-thirds?

Dear Sir, Sorry for the confusion. My father holds one-third of our property. And remaining two-thirds is registered on my and my brother's name 15 years ago when my grand parents expired. My father has registered all his property to my mother few months before he passed away.

You are less than forthcoming with the facts. What prevents you from disclosing the complete facts?

Sir, I think I have disclosed all the facts. Can you please let me know what other details were needed

How is that you and brother as well your fathe has 'inherited' the properties? How is it that your father, apparently in a haste, had made over the properties to your mother?

Dear sir,

Actually the property was bought for my father by my grandparents. But it was never registered. Similaryly, the property of my father's brother was also not registered. It was just written in the stamp papers that it was sold to my father.

After my grand parent's expiry, all the family (my father's brothers ans sisters) met and divided the whole grand parent's property among themselves. During that time, from the property set aside for my father, 2/3rd of property was registered on my and my brother's name and 1/3rd of property was registered on my father.

Later recently, we had settled some debts of our father. My father has registered his property to my mother because some people who lent him money were forcing him to write the property on their name or to pay the entire debt at the same time.

Later after 3.5 months, unforunately he attempted suicide and eventually passed away due to some lendors harassing him. 

Please post simple facts devoid of assumptions and presumptions and avoiding subjective opinions.

Sir,

I have stated the facts only. Few of my relatives were aware of these. My father has told police that he attempted suicide since some lendors were harassing him and it was written in the FIR when he was hospitalized after the suicide attempt.
