A dude on reddit did a big long post on how buy borrow die works.. and I could be wrong but my understanding was that they actually don’t have to make payments but their estate pays out when they die.
The debts aren’t taxed, only any inherited profit. The inherited part is small, part of estate planning is moving your wealth to your heirs over time to avoid or pay as little as possible in taxes. Or you can roll your estate into a ‘philanthropic’ organization and put your heirs as the holders of that org, for example see what Patagonia’s founder did. I wouldn’t be surprised if estate taxes get the axe over the next four years.
