Best Answer

The "estate" or the heir.

But the heir's responsibility is limited to the amount of money in the estate. In other words, the heir does not become responsible for all the debts personally as if they were his own.

The estate, but not the heir. The heir has no liability for the debt - the debts might only go to reduce the amount the heir might get.
