When a serf died in medieval times, their estate typically reverted to the lord of the manor, as serfs were bound to the land and did not own property. The family of the deceased often faced challenges, as they could lose their home and livelihood. Additionally, there might be a customary obligation to pay fees for the transfer of land or to seek permission from the lord for the burial. In some cases, the lord might grant some leniency, but the overall fate of the family largely depended on the lord's disposition and the specific customs of the region.
