Kindly tell the last date of payment. If it has been more than three years, then it is time barred debt and is not enforceable.
If it is not, then, the loan is liable to be recovered but only from the personal estate of the deceased. But it involves a lot of technicality in the process. The son is not liable to pay anything from his account. If the lender disturbs, then you may complain either before the Court or to the police for such complaint.
