Whoever dies owing a debt, their debts must be settled before their inheritance is divided, in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "from after any bequest he may have made or debt." You can demand your debt, and his family must settle it before dividing the inheritance. If they do not respond, you can resort to the courts.
