The succession owes the debt. Therefore, if the succession has assets, all debts will be satisfied from the assets.

The succession owes the debt. Therefore, if the succession has assets, all debts will be satisfied from the assets. If there is nothing in the succession, then the only way an heir is liable is if they open and accept the succession.
