If I kill myself, will my family owe my debts?
I’m suicidal but I don’t want loved ones to be burdened by my decision.

Kys loser
I am. I just want to know if my relatives will owe my debts.
No, but the decision will cost in other ways
Family member died in may, and I had to take three weeks unpaid leave AND find the money to bury the git. It probably cost the family around $8k in actual money and another $8k in lost income. So don't do it.
You're family will be fucking destroyed by your suicide, any financial debts are insignificant to the scale of despair your entire family/friends and anyone you have ever known will feel by you committing suicide... Sadness and depression doesn't go away when you commit suicide, it just gets passed-on to whoever you leave behind.
depends where you live. but i think in most first world countries you cannot pass on debt. the estate of the deceased pays any balances outstanding, if there are not enough assets to cover the debt then nobody inherits anything and the creditors are stuck with the debt.
Burial will be impossible if everything goes according to plan.
I understand this, and I’m remorseful about the emotional toll it will inflict, but I’m just so tired of everything. I want peace.
Good to know. I’m in the US, for reference.
>Burial will be impossible
Okay, that would have been $1,200 less for us (cremation). What about the other $14,800?
>and I had to
No you didn't.
well OP if you are really considering suicide, i suggest you take out insurance policy and make it look like an accident, that way your estate will have a positive balance to settle any burial costs.
though i advise against suicide, the emotional toll towards those around you may be significant.
