If the heir died after the decedent, any property that was inherited by that heir would become part of that heir's estate. The heir's estate would also need to be probated.

You are not personally responsible. However, if your mother owns any property in her name the government can record a lien against her estate. The lien must be paid before any property can be distributed. For future reference: If it happens that a Medical Assistance lien is filed against your mother's estate a skilled attorney can usually negotiate a settlement for a lessor amount in return for a cash offer.
