My condolences on your loss. Your daughter's estate is responsible for her debts. You would not be responsible for her credit card debt unless you gained title to the property from her estate.

The Credit Card company can lien her interest in the property, if title was not as joint tenants as opposed to tenants in common. I suggest you speak to any attorney in your area.
