You are not personally responsible for paying her debt. The debt is owed by her estate. The administrator of her estate will not be able to get a clear title for the estate (get a deed that you could convey to someone) unless all of the debt - the $8,500.00 plus the judgments - are paid. You should consider talking to an estate attorney about how to handle this.
