The answer

The creditor's statement, "If I die, then I forgive the debt," is considered a release contingent upon death, and its ruling is that of a bequest (). If the one released from the debt is not an heir, the release is executed within the limits of one-third of the estate. Whatever exceeds one-third depends on the approval of the heirs. If the debt is equal to or less than one-third of the estate, the debtor's liability is cleared. If it exceeds one-third, the excess depends on the heirs' permission; otherwise, it must be given to them.
