             To Retiring partner's loan A/c
 And it comes in liabilities in balance sheet.

In case of death of a partner, died partner's capital is transferred to died partner's executor's account. Journal entry for same is :
   Partner's capital account.                    Dr
                      To partner's executor's account
This amount can be paid to the executor in cash or cheque or it can be transferred to partner executor's loan account. Entry for the same wil be :
