The Debt of the Deceased

Question
A lady borrowed 1000 dinars from her mother and 500 from her unmarried sister, and she did not repay the debt. Then her mother, sister, and father passed away. How will the debt be settled by the heirs?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: This amount is considered an inheritance of the deceased, and it is divided among the heirs of the deceased according to Islamic law. God knows best.
