No, I'm not aware of a time when that was the case. It's an urban myth.
The estate is always liable for debts of the deceased provided there is enough in the estate. No individual is liable- just the estate- although of course if there is a beneficiary then that person perceives that they are paying the debt because their inheritance is less than it woudl otherwise have been.
