Supreme Court allows claim against deceased debtor's estate for testamentary debt owed to a third party.

The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the plaintiff's claim against the deceased debtor's estate for a debt established by a will. The plaintiff argued that the estate should satisfy the obligation created by the testator's testamentary disposition, while the estate contested the liability based on the nature of testamentary debts. The court ruled that the estate is liable for such debts as they constitute valid obligations of the deceased at the time of death.
