If your mother died without any assets but died flat broke, you are not responsible for her bills. You do not have to pay her bills out of your own money. (You have to pay any expenses you arrange for after she dies. If you buy a funeral you have to make sure it is paid for.) However, if your mother left you money and you are the executor of her estate, you must pay her bills.
