What if a grandchild owes money to grandparent that diees?

If a grandparent dies leaving behind debts, those debts typically do not transfer to the grandchild unless the grandchild co-signed or is legally responsible for them. The grandparent's estate will be responsible for settling any outstanding debts before distributing assets to heirs. If the estate lacks sufficient assets to cover the debts, they may go unpaid. It's advisable for the grandchild to consult with an estate attorney to understand their rights and obligations in this situation.
