Re: Is my daughter responsible for these debts
Yes she would be, as any other heir who accepts the succession. If the succession is insolvent, the heirs should renounce the succession and then they would not be liable for any of the debts of the succession. You should consult an attorney with all the specifics of the succession before making any decision.

Whether or not your daughter owes is your decision.
Consult a lawyer and have the succession evaluated. If it is insolvent, renounce it on your daughter's behalf.
