Where I live you can inherit your parents debt if they die. Though your parents can get an insurance policy that will guarantee that you don’t inherit their debt once they die and allows you to keep whatever it was that they were trying to pay off.
Now if the parent is still alive, but disappears leaving behind debt then their child will not have to pay it off lest they co-signed
.. debts are not hinerited. Is this a korean thing?
The only debt that one has is the one they co-sign, and if they don't, once that person dies, the children can run to a notary and rennounce of the debts. If the debtor disappears, the children have no legal obligation. I know it by experience.
It would be horrible to have your life ruined because of your parents decisions, feels like SK has not improved further than in technology...
