Like this: the individual has a 10,000€ fine plus additional fees for avoiding it for a long time but there’s a catch, that person is deceased since their family has a death certificate proving he or she’s dead.

However, does that alone erase the unpaid fine from existence as it makes no sense to still go after the individual since they’re no longer alive and their relatives are not involved as it’s not on them.

    Depends on where you live.

    Generally Any debts would be paid from the estate. So if they owned anything of value it will be sold to pay for the debts before anything is inherited.

    I’m not sure if fines count as debt where you live, here anything owed the state is the highest priority debt.
