There is no legal basis for "father's debt and son's compensation" or "son's debt and son's compensation" Neither father nor son has this obligation to repay, except in one case, Article 33 of the Inheritance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that inheritance should pay off the taxes and debts that the decedent should pay according to law, and the taxes paid and debts paid are limited to the actual value of his estate, but the heir exceeds the actual value of the estate.

That is to say, China's inheritance law stipulates that after inheriting the lawful and valid property of the decedent, the heir inherits the lawful and valid debts of the decedent before his death. According to the principle of relativity of debts, the heirs only repay the debts owed by the decedent before his death within the scope of inheriting property. If the heir renounces the inheritance, he may not bear the taxes and debts that the decedent should pay according to law. To sum up, neither the "father" nor the "son" has the obligation to "pay debts" endlessly for the other party.
