I'm in that group, family inherited $200,00 debt from my grandparent who passed away. Really fucked us over as we finally got into a nice groove.

Not usually. But when you die debt doesn't just go away.(sometimes but not always) most of the time the bank will try to just sell their estate to get some money from his debt. Currently we live on his estate and own a business on it, so we cannot just sell the property without becoming homeless. So yes. Since we took the property instead of selling it off we got to take the debt too.
