Yes, unless these assets had been part of a trust and moved within such entity at least 10 years prior to the legal action. Any willed assets are first subject to the debts and claims upon the deceased estate by its creditors, leaders and litigants. However, if the balance owed becomes negative you would not be liable for paying his remaining bill; at least not in the US.

You will need to talk to the executor of your mother's Will. If this is you, you will need to see whom the house is willed to - if it is your sisters, a decent estate lawyer can draw up the paperwork relatively quickly. If there is no Will, or the house is otherwise deeded or has a lien on it, things will get complicated quickly and you will need to contact an estate lawyer.

Are the children of a deceased parent responsible for their debt in the state of New Jersey?
Yes and no. The estate of the deceased is responsible for payment of any debts of the departed, so if you had been willed any form of an asset then it could be liquidated or levied for the repayment of a debt owned to the estate. The only time children or a surviving spouse are liable is if they put themselves up as a guarantor, including co-signing on a car, apartment, credit card, and/or medical care.
