One of the primary reasons to open an estate is to resolve these debts. The estate is required to pay off any debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.

What happens when someone dies and they owe you money?

You can file a claim against their estate in probate court with proof of the debt. If you have proof of the debt and they have assets of value, you must be paid by the estate before any remaining assets can legally be distributed to their heirs. If they have nothing of value, than you have nothing you can claim from them.
