What happens to student loans when the person dies?

https://www.gov.uk/repaying-your-student-loan/when-your-student-loan-gets-written-off-or-cancelled


If someone with a student loan dies

The Student Loans Company (SLC) will cancel the person’s student loan.

You need to let SLC know that the person has died and provide evidence (for example an original death certificate), as well as the person’s Customer Reference Number.

Written off.

So BOTH the tuition fee loan AND the maintenance loan are BOTH written off? Even if you're in your third year at uni and have 'built up' three year's worth of loans? Thank you

That's BOTH loans, right? And what happens to the loans if you die shortly after COMPLETING your studies i.e. the student doesn't die DURING university, but after graduation? The 2 loans don't get passed on to your loved ones in that situation, right? Do they BOTH get written off regardless of whether the student dies DURING or AFTER their studies? Thanks man

Why exactly are you asking this?...

Are you okay?

Written off. One of my friends passed away after just starting his medicine degree, absolutely heartbreaking

I literally just wanted to know if it was the same as other loans etc. where if you passed away, your loved ones would inherit any liabilities.
