Thanks GOP. Parent's Of Deceased Children Inherit Their Student Loan Debt.

35. That is only true if

the parents co-signed themselves for the loan. If they did not co-sign, if the loan was only in the student's name, then they are not legally responsible and cannot be held as such. That does not mean that banks will not try to "guilt" the grieving parents into paying, as they've been known to do (because most people don't know that they are not legally responsible if they didn't co-sign) because they basically don't give a shit and only care about their money, but people don't have to go along with it and can tell the banks where to shove it.

The fact that student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy is one of the most odious things to come out of that odious, POS bankruptcy "reform" bill.
