since you are the legal heirs you will inherit the properties of the deceased inclusive of the business and its share ... along with the loans.. so you will asked to repay the loan.

in case you do not inhereit any thing and the loan has been acquired in the name of the company or business enterprises etc... then that would be taken/ wound up and money would be realised and you will not be held responsible.

The lender can sue the legal heirs on the death of the borrower and he can have a decree against the assets, if any of the deceased, in their hands. If no assets are there, the heirs are not personally liable.
