You ask it, we have it answered!
What happens if an estate is not settled?
If an estate has a shortfall, the executor will either sell assets to meet the financial requirements or the heirs will pay the shortfall to preserve the assets, such as property, for the assets to be transferred to them. However, an estate that does not have enough assets to pay for all the debts will be declared as insolvent, and the beneficiaries will not inherit anything.
