Russian village forced to repay a dead woman’s 175,000-ruble debt
A village administration in Trans-Baikal Territory has settled a debt of over 175,000 rubles originally owed by a deceased woman. The case began when bailiffs traced the unpaid credit to the local municipality, which had inherited the woman's estate. After the woman's death, her apartment transferred to the village administration, making it legally responsible for her outstanding debt. The bank took the matter to court, securing a ruling that forced the municipality to repay the sum. The municipality has now fully resolved the debt, including the extra fee. The restrictions on the vehicle were lifted after payment, closing the case. The name of the village involved has not been disclosed in available records.
