If he has any immovable property it can be attached and can be recovered.but his sons are not liable to repay debt

Sir he does not have any immovable property left behind after his death and as i had mentioned he was a lawyer so he had special knowledge and skills for earning which his sons dont have ...is there any obligation typically in context to hindu law which make it binding.

As per Hindu law they must discharge father's death if he made itfor family benefits. If he used for illegal bad purpose I.edrunk,gambling,prostittue etc they r not binding to discharge father's debt.
