Children "succeed" to the rights and obligations of their parents. That means simply that they take on whatever the parents owned and owed. They may renounce the succession. But by doing so the renounce both what the parents owned as well as what they owned.
Bottom line: You want mama and daddy's house and bank account? You gotta take mama and daddy's debts along with it.
