Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana

My wife is 44 and her mom just died this month at the age of 75.

The 3 surviving daughters are splitting the remaining cost of the funeral/headstone, etc.

My question is this;

Are we responsible for her mom's remaining personal debt? We are finding balances that are exceeding $9,000 in debt / loans tied to her mom.

Things like dentures, personal loans, etc.

The conversations between the 3 daughters and us their husbands are getting more opinionated as we try to figure out what to do.

Thank you,

Eric Nichols
