How to Settle an Unknown Debt in Amount and Creditor

Question
How do we settle the debt of a deceased person if the amount of the debt is unknown and the creditor is unknown?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is recommended to estimate its value and give it as charity if the owner of the debt is not known, and God knows best.
