Nearly one-third of Americans surveyed by Securian Financial Group say they haven’t thought about what would happen to their debt if they – or their cosigners – were to pass away unexpectedly. Fewer than 13 percent say they have taken steps to protect themselves from the sudden loss of a borrower.

Debt:
The inheritance
no one wants
Nearly one-third of Americans surveyed by Securian
Financial Group say they haven’t thought about
what would happen to their debt if they – or their
cosigners – were to pass away unexpectedly.
All generations wrestle with debt
Consumer debt spiked during the Great Recession, focusing the
nation’s attention on debt with an intensity not seen in decades. All
generations were affected.
Baby boomers, for example, grew up with the conventional wisdom
to “buy as much house as you can” because the widely held
assumption was that household income and home values would rise.
According to a Securian survey conducted earlier this year, however,
that rule of thumb had unfortunate consequences for boomers: The
number of pre-retirees who expect to carry mortgage debt into
retirement soared a stunning 123 percent between 2009 and 2013.
(Figure 1A)
In the same survey, nearly half (49 percent) of retirees held debt
when they entered retirement. (Figure 1B and 1C) Of that group, 39
percent owed $50,000 or more. People who are 65 and older have
more credit card debt than any other age group – nearly $9,300,
on average.1
The third generation, Millennials, holds an unprecedented debt
burden in the form of student loans. One in 10 recent borrowers
defaulted on their student loans within the first two years – the
highest rate since 1995, according to the US Department of
Education. 2 At nearly $1 trillion, student loan debt is at a record high
and the average 25-year-old’s student loan debt was around $22,000
in 2012. 3

these cases, survivors are in the hole even after liquidating assets.
Figure 4. Have you ever considered what
would happen to your debts or loans if

Debt doesn’t always die with the borrower
No
When asked whether they had given any thought to what would
happen to their debt if they died unexpectedly, nearly one third
(31 percent) of all respondents answered, “No.” (Figure 4)
31%
Then the survey asked what they think would happen.
Across the various types of debt mentioned, approximately 10
percent believe that if they died unexpectedly the lender would
forgive the loan or it would simply go away. That number doubles for
student loan borrowers, some of whom may be eligible for federal
student loan forgiveness programs. (Figure 5)

If there is no cosigner, the lender will seek to collect the debt from
the estate, which could result in the sale of assets including homes,
cars and other property. If a spouse, child, parent or anyone else
cosigned a loan with the deceased, the cosigners are liable for the
debt. A spouse is responsible in a community property state even if
he or she did not cosign the loan. That’s a lot of “ifs,” considering that
57 percent of the respondents are married and another 11 percent are
divorced or separated. (Figure 6)
When asked how they’d feel about saddling their survivors with
debt, their responses fell into three categories – regretful, prepared
or unconcerned.
“I would feel terrible. I do not like the idea of leaving my
mistakes to other people.”
“I would feel awful. But I have insurance as a part of my
payment plan to prevent that.”
“My ex can totally afford it.”

4. Majority of cosigners step up for family
Among the 1,004 people who took Securian’s survey, nearly
one-fourth (24 percent) cosigned loans for others. Interestingly, the
percentage of cosigners is much lower among respondents who
currently have no debt of their own (11 percent). (Figure 7)
When asked to select all that apply, nearly half (46 percent) of the 238
cosigners share debt with their spouses. Nearly one-third (30 percent)
cosigned for their children. About one-tenth cosigned for parents or
other family members (11 percent and 10 percent, respectively).

5. Huge majority of borrowers financially unprepared for
sudden death
When asked to select all the steps they would take to provide
financial protection as borrowers or cosigners, only 127 respondents
(18 percent) indicated they had no need or already have financial
protections in place.
Perhaps taking the survey will prompt the 698 others to take action.
More than half (55 percent) said they are most likely to draw up a will
to protect themselves or others from incurring debt upon the death
of a primary borrower or cosigner. Forty percent said they would buy
insurance to cover the debt. Nearly one-third said they would seek
financial advice and/or increase their individual insurance coverage
(31 and 30 percent, respectively).

Preventing a legacy of loss
Nobody likes to think about dying unexpectedly. And the results
of this survey show that many of us don’t think about it. But if
borrowers consider who – if anyone – would inherit their debt, they
might be moved to take action to financially protect the cosigners on
their loans and themselves as cosigners on others’ debts.
It can be difficult not to share the responsibility for paying loans and
credit cards. How many 18 year olds would get student loans if their
parents didn’t cosign? How many couples could afford to buy homes
if they didn’t apply for mortgages on the basis of their combined
Debt:The inheritance no one wants – November 2013 5
6. incomes? And how many middle-aged adult children are providing
their elderly parents with financial assistance?
Insurance can be the answer. Most lenders offer inexpensive coverage
for death and disability of the primary borrower. Cosigners can
purchase coverage that covers the loan if the primary borrower dies.
Simple term life insurance also is inexpensive, especially for younger
healthy individuals. Though individual term life does not directly pay
debts, the surviving cosigners can use the benefits to pay off loans
for which they have become solely responsible.
For others, especially those helping elderly or disabled family
members manage their personal finances, power of attorney or other
legal precautions protect them from becoming responsible for debt.
Comments from respondents in the Securian survey describe the
anguish they feel at the thought of saddling their survivors with debt.
The good news is that there are many options available through
financial institutions and financial advisors that help prevent an
unwanted inheritance – or legacy – of debt.
