That's all there is to it - this is not something new. If someone has debts, howsoever caused, they should repay them, and a lot of Inheritance Tax planning is done on this basis - deliberately create a debt on the estate so that less tax is payable on death.

It is a valid part of the thread, not everyone is eligble to pay inheritance tax.
