A: You can always write a will such that the debt is owed, and needs to be paid, but the details of how to do that go beyond the scope of a forum like this and would require an examination of your WHOLE estate situation to insure things are done properly and in a way that provides the best guarantees things will happen as expected.

You should seek local guidance from a licensed estate planning attorney to insure things are done right! You can use the 'find a lawyer' tab here to search for someone nearby.
