Being the executor does not make you personally responsible. The estate has to pay any debts. If the estate cannot pay them, the debtors do not get paid.

If the mobile home and mortgage are in your mother's name alone then you are not personally responsible for paying the loan. However, your mother's estate is responsible for her debts. If the loan isn't paid the bank will foreclose on the property and is entitled to any other assets if there is a deficiency.
