<prompt> Human: Hello everyone. Forgive me if Im being naïve but Im concerned about my future. Currently Im 16 in high school, dont have a job, with plans to join the military after finishing high school and going to collegeMy parents are in their mid forties, my dad is a farmer is the primary source of income. His job pays the bills and thats nice. My mom works part time at a local retail store when shes not homeschooling my little brother. My concern is I know they are in debt around 17k and most likely wont be able to pay that off in the future. If they dont have that payed off when they pass away where does that debt go to? Does it go to me? What can I do if it does?  <response>: The debt goes to their estate. Any assets of the estate will be used to pay off their debt. Children dont inherit their parents debt.
