If you have acquired any property that had been left behind by your deceased father you may be obliged to settle the loan amount that he incurred during his lifetime to the extent of the value of the property

If you have not acquired any property then you may simply reject the demand made by the lenders.

See you deny them to pay any amount let them file suit you can contest same. See they need other proof too to establish the deny. See you along other legal are responsible only to the extent of inheritance you received from the father.

If they harass or intimidate you, you can file police complaint along with the proof.

No it's not mandatory. You can talk about it. 

Your mother's property shall be her own property, it is not liable to be attached for your father's personal debts.

The cheques issued if returned for insufficient of funds and if the legal heirs have not acquired any assets of deceased they can very well disclaim the responsibility or liability.

You can apply for legal heirship certificate but it should include the names of all heirs.

your mother property cannot be attached to recover father debts 

2) you can apply for LHC for return of gold borrowed by your father 

3)you would be liable for father debts as per assets inherited by you from your deceased father 

1. ANY "legitimate debts /liabilities" of deceased person, HAS to be borne by the "beneficiary" residual legal heirs of deceased person.  Here it needs to be decided whether the said "promissory notes" are legal, stamped, witnesses, reflected in lenders account books & income tax returns.  IF such liabilities are not legal, THEN it is not recoverable even in a Court.

2. Debts /Liabilities are bound by only the "deceased persons residual properties"  AND NOT OF HIS LEGAL HEIRS PERSONAL PROPERTIES.

3. IF a liability is legal, THEN the beneficiary who claims other properties of deceased ALSO BECOMES liable for deceased persons legitimate liabilities.

You are not liable to pay the debts taken by your father and recovery can be made from his estate which he may leave behind and which you inherit. 

Without putting date, amount and other particulars and giving blank signed promissory note is not valid in law. 

The legal heirs are liable to the lender only to the extent of value/assets, if inherited, from the deceased. If no assets are inherited, the surviving spouse or children have no liability towards the lender. 

yes you can apply for legal heirs certificate. 

See there wont be any effect on the mothers property though if you take gold back from the bank you have to pay the amount and further there wont be any issue in same if you get legal heir certificate. 

See then a FIR can be registered against the person for forgery since your family signed no promissory notes.

legal heirs are not liable, incase if they made any forge promissory note then you can register Fir against them. 

If you have not inherited any assets you are not liable to pay father debts 

2) file poluce complaint of forgery in case name of family members are included 

The blank promissory notes need signature of your family members, they cannot forge anyone's signature as they do not know how you people sign.

Even in case they forge and make a false claim against you people directly then you can challenge the same in court of law and get the case dismissed on merits and the support of documentary evidences.

If you get the same without objection of other legal heirs If any it will be good

1. Just wait and do not give away or do anything, since it will create documentary evidence's against the legal heirs of deceased.

2. The debt /liability is "time-barred" from date of commitment to repay the loan. As far as forging is concerned, anybody at anytime can forge and create a dispute. BUT this dispute has to be sustained by account books, bank statements, income tax returns, witnesses & other documentary evidences etc.... 

A promissory note without date or amount is not enforceable instrument.

If lender himself fills the amount and date now then you can take defence it was forged but you will become liable to pay the amount mentioned in promissory note.

Yes as legal representative of your father you are liable to clear loans taken by your father.

You cannot make police complaint regarding this matter.
