Re: do we have to pay?
her estate is obligated to pay - to the extent that there are assets available to pay. Doesn't sound like there is any money. Let your mother's soul rest in peace and let the creditors fight over -0-.

Your stepdad may be liable for her debts considered as necessary; possibly her medical bills. That comes after her estate has paid all it can.
