Hammurabi's Code, specifically Law 48, states that if a creditor has loaned grain or silver to a person and that person dies without repaying the debt, then the creditor cannot claim the debt from the deceased person's family. This law can be seen as fair to the creditors as it protects their right to claim their debt if the debtor is alive. However, it also acknowledges that the responsibility of a debt does not transfer to the debtor's family after their death. Overall, the fairness of this law to the creditors may depend on their individual circumstances and the cultural norms of the time.
