Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My mother filled out a quit claim on her mobile home (owned outright) worth approximately $7,000.00, and had it signed by a notary public, months before her death. She also signed over her car, just before her death. (She spent a month in the hospital before she actually died.) The car's worth is about $3,600. These things are now in my name. Now, my question is, can her creditors, such as credit card debt, come after me or the property for her debt. What, if anything, am I responsible for.

Thank You for your help, and this site!

At this point, based on what you have provided, they can go after her estate. They could go after you if you took estate property without paying the debt, but you have only provided facts about property she transferred to you before her death.
