The outstanding debt is the responsibility of the executor of the estate, not the beneficiaries. You can search the Supreme Court probate documents and find the name of the executor. Then lodge a claim of debt to them. The executor is required by law to pay out ALL debts before the estate is divided.
Some executors, particularly if they are related to the deceased fail to recognise the difference between estate assets and the legacy of the beneficiaries. It’s not a legacy until it’s properly distributed by the executor.
