That is really harsh... I'm taking it your friend's grandmother died without a will? If that happens, common law dictates who will inherit the deceased's property. That is unless the person has debts and/or funeral expenses considered higher than the value of their assets, in which case their belongings become the property of the state to cover such expenses.

Yes, if the Grandma was deep in debt is perfectly legal for her creditors to request the estate be liquidated to pay off the debt that she owes.

If that's what the will states, then that's what happens.
Be nice to your elders, they'll give you more crap.
