Best Answer

Under some circumstances, yes.

Consider this: your great-uncle has exactly $1000 to his name. He dies and leaves all his money to you in his will. He also has a credit card, on which he owes $1000. The bank is legally entitled to take the $1000 to pay off his debt, even though he left it to you.

The debts of the estate must be settled before any bequests can be disbursed.
