Well, Deceased Father's Loan can be equally paid by other family members including you. Despite you are unmarried, as you may have been doing job via which you must be earning, if this is the case, then you not need to have any problem in contributing in paying Father's loan, legally, it is the responsibility of all children to pay Deceased Father's Loan!

Hello, no one can force you for anything, it is always your choice what you want to opt for, if they force, tortuce or if you face any kind of harassment, you can go ahead by taking a legal step, and if you are paying for loan your brother is lso equally liable to pay

If the loan was secured (e.g., against property), the lender may recover the dues from the mortgaged asset. If it was an unsecured loan, legal heirs are not personally liable unless they inherit assets from their father. If the deceased father's estate (property, savings, etc.) exists, the loan is to be repaid from that inheritance. If the father left no assets, legal heirs are generally not personally liable to pay the loan from their own earnings. Check Loan Documents: If you did not co-sign or guarantee the loan, you may not be legally responsible.
