Court dismissed water supply claim against estate, ruling debt belongs to deceased, not heirs.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for payment of water supply and drainage fees owed by a deceased estate. The plaintiff argued the debt should be paid by the heirs, while the defendant contended the liability terminated with the decedent's death. The court held that since the debt was not explicitly assigned to the estate, it did not bind the heirs.
