Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New Jersey

I was power of attorney for my mom who recently passed away. Now that she has medical bills coming in, am I obligated to pay these? She had no estate. What happens to any outstanding medical or any bills she had? Would appreciate your advice. Thank you.
