Heir's Responsibility-His Share

What is the limit of an heir's liability when the estate is divided according to law? 

When the estate is divided according to the Inheritance Law of 1965, the liability of each heir is limited to what he/she receives from the estate.

Can a creditor sue an heir to recover a debt, after the deceased's estate has been divided in good faith? 

Yes! Guaranteed debts that the deceased had on the eve of his death can be recovered even after the estate has been divided, even if the division was made in good faith.

Not if it is proved that he did not know they existed when the estate was divided. After the estate has been divided and the creditors are paid what was know to be owed to them at the time, then the heir is not responsible for unpaid debts unless it is proved that he knew of them at the time the estate was divided.
