Dear client
Thank you for using just answer.
The property falls in to the estate (solvent or insolvent). The executor must decide if he wants to sell the property and cover the estates creditors or the bank. if the assets and cash is less than the creditors it becomes an insolvent estate which in turn follows the route that either the Heirs must cover the creditors or each creditor at the end of the day will receive FOR Example 50 Sent in the rand to each claim. However the bank is a creditor and will he receive his total amount.
I trust the answer is helpfull
