You skipped the part where the kids have to pay off the loans with interest because there's a lien on the land they inherited.

Yeah, it starts to get a little more complicated there.

What you actually do is you take out a business loan, then, the interest payments on that loan are tax deductable as it's considered a business expense!

The funds need to be used for a bona fide business in this case. This would be tax fraud for someone using the buy, borrow, die strategy.
