Not you! Her estate is responsible. If her estate can't pay the balance of then the credit card company gets a "So sorry" letter and eats it. The same would apply to other unsecured creditors, like doctors and hospitals.
Don't be fooled by some one from the credit card company saying you owe it. You can NOT inherit debt.
