Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

I asked a question and iI believe I must have written it wrong. I meant the person recieving the inheiradence has the creditors after them not the deceast. My friends dad wantts to put his son on the will but his son has a lot of debt. his Father is afraid if he puts him in the will that they will get it from his property before he passes

. Or right when he passes the creditors will take it from his son.
