However, the amendments are only conditionally retroactive. Persons who have already taken on inherited debts will not necessarily get full relief, and future heirs must be careful not to misunderstand the new law and assume that there is no obligation under any circumstances to repay any part of inherited debt.
不過，新法是有條件地溯及既往，已經繼承「父債」的背債族不一定可以完全得到「解脫」；而未來的繼承人也不要誤解新法，以為此後所有的「父債」都不用還。
