Replying to myself to provide an analogy to help anyone understand this:
The situation in the article/tweet would be like if your parent died, and you were the executor of their estate, and you refused to pay off any of their outstanding debts. Then when you died, your child became executor of your estate, which still theoretically owes your parent's unpaid debt. The creditor then sues your child for that debt.
The post title, however, describes this as you (who are dead) suing your parent (who is dead) for your parent's unpaid debt (which you were never owed). See how this makes zero sense?
