Suicide note

If a man with debt commits suicide and in his suicide note states that his legal heirs(wife and son) shall not be troubled for repayment will it have to be abided by law?

no, liability will stand firm until cleared.

The law takes its own course, and such suicide notes can never have any impact on statutes/Acts/law, and no one can command the borrower as to what he should do.

The legal heirs are responsible if they are entitled to a share in the deceased's property.  The bank on receiving such notice of death impleads and serves notices to legal heirs disclosing the outstanding and their legal liability.

1. "IF" the debts are illegal  .OR. legally not enforceable  .OR. IF the debtor was a mental person (that's why he committed suicide .... ), THEN the legal heirs have no liability to honor to the creditors.

2. The Legal Heirs can file a Criminal complaint against the creditors, for coercing /provoking the debtor to commit suicide and refuse to honor any liability of deceased and on the contrary claim compensation /damages.  The case can be twisted as required, depending on capability & capacity of the debtor's lawyer.
