Which student loans are of significance?

Updated over 10 months ago

Consider all outstanding Federal subsidized, Federal unsubsidized, and private student loans for the deceased. Loans that the deceased may have co-signed for are generally not affected. Federal student loans are typically discharged, while private student loans may be discharged but can also become a liability for the Estate. Regardless, student loans follow distinct processes compared to other types of debt.
