I can't remember if we've discussed this before and no time for a search.
If a person has a vast amount of school loan debt (but parents didn't sign for that loan) and the person dies; does the debt "go away"? Obviously the person has no assets because they've been paying on the student loan for years.
Not asking for a friend or myself other than UL's about homeless/jobless question got me to thinking about his loan program (which I know transfers if all goes well with the new job offer - yeah!)
