Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania
Repayment of loan to estate
The recently deceased gave an unsigned $5,000 loan to his grand daughter
for college tuition, which she has been paying back since her graduation four
years ago. Does the balance of this loan have to be repaid to the estate, or is
the loan absolved upon the death of the grandfather?

The debt is an asset of the estate. A such it must be repaid as was agreed.
