A big estate was the hook line and sinker. Now time to drown for more debts.

She should have at least looked at the face of the loan shark.

This really works in Japan?

I admit that I have been completely avoiding the final info dump in these for a while now.

The stories seem better without the info dump endings insulting my intelligence as a reader.

This reminds me of how Faye got conned in Cowboy Bebop. Japanese law can be pretty fucked sometimes. Well, most of the time really.

Yep, children can inherit their parents' debts in Japan. That's only if they accept the inheritance though. Looking it up, they can do a limited acceptance where they'll only inherit the amount of debt equal to the assets (so if they had 50k worth of assets and 70k debt, you'd only get 50k of the debt).

Either way, it can be a pretty bad situation if you accept. And the debt collection companies can be pretty pushy about pressuring people to accept the inheritance. Apparently even if people reject it, the companies still harass them to pay back their parents' debts.

Some of them are just not understandable because the Japanese pun doesn't translate well.

In this case, I had a more wholesome ending in mind, and thought it was a pun on "bond", because even though the emotional linn between them wasn't there, there is still this financial contract that makes the parents pay once they're dead.

guess they didn't read any fine print. but if someone came up to me and said my parents had an inheritance, and i had been living with diff parents or an orphanage i'd def raise an eyebrow/ask more questions

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

This one is just kinda sad. They double fuck the child's life. Ouch.

That could never be me. I won’t even pay my own debts.

Blonde hair is a recessive trait, and the "son" has black hair, so they probably weren't even his parents.

Its most likely bleached hair.

 

[luigiymario2]

That should be illegal, here in Mexico children do not inherit the debt of the parents, when they die the debt dies with them and the only one responsible for that loss is the banks, yo!

 

[Koneko_Nyaa]

You can have their assets if you also take their debts. Otherwise the assets will have to be sold to pay the debts and you can inherit what's left.
Now, in this case, the crooked estate administrator realized that they wouldn't be able to recover all the debt if they sold all the assets and decided to trick the unsuspecting heir into accepting the entire estate as-is under the premise that there were many assets without being forthcoming about the fact that he'd be assuming even more liabilities.

Also, joke's on him to some extent - he should've read and understood everything before signing anything.

Also, irresponsible asses leaving behind that much debt. You should have life insurance if you're going to leave behind debt.
I have enough life insurance to take care of my family for more than a decade after all my debts are paid. Debts aside, property taxes are expensive. I don't want them to worry about if they can afford to keep living in my house.

Fuck the government. I want to cry when I look at tax bill after Bidenflation did its thing.
