<prompt> Human: Hey everyone. I am in a peculiar issue and am not sure what to expect or what issues I may face.My brother has a student loan but he was incarcerated in 2013 and is not due to be relaxed until 2042.The two cosigners, my mom and dad have both passed away. Mom passed in 2012, and dad this year. I am executor of his estate and will be sole heir of everything due to complications of my brother in prison. Last I checked the loan has accused interest and sits at about 15k. Am I going to be responsible for this loan? What is the potential I will be stuck with it as opposed to petitioning for loan forgiveness?  <response>: Your parents estate is responsible for the loan, not you. If the loan is defaulted on ie since it is not being paid for by your brother, then it comes from your parents estate.
