    You get what’s left over.

    If you get left a house that’s 300k, but they had 250k in debt, you end up with 50k.

    But if you get left a 300K house, and they had 500k in debt, you don’t owe 200k. You just don’t get the house.

      You would have to pay off the 250 k debt though, if you want to keep the house. You can’t give the house away without paying the debt first.

      The one inheriting the house may want to take a 250k loan to afford that 300k house.
