My 4 Kiva loans have again paid on time: http://www.kiva.org/lender/RateLadder

However, Jeff & Heather over at My Microfinance have pointed out that if I die the money is forgiven…  I think that is fine if my estate chooses that, but why wouldn’t my estate pass on to my heirs where they could continue to help people.  Who gets that forgiven money?

Here is the link where they discovered the clause: http://mymicrofinance.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/kiva-lenders-if-you-plan-on-dying-please-read-this/
