Re: deceased mother credit card debt.
Unless you were an authorized user of the account, the debts are your mother's, not yours. In the event that your mother had a will, it probably indicated how she wanted here debts dealth with. For instance, if she owned any assets that will be sold, she may have indicated that she wished her debts paid out of those funds.
Re: deceased mother credit card debt.
You are not liable for her debts unless you cosigned so you don't have to do anything.
If she left assets, creditors would be paid out of the assets (and usually ahead of you) in probate. If ehse left none, you have no problem.
