what happens if u get taken to court and you get a judgement against you and you cant pay

If a judgment is entered against you and you can't pay, the creditor will begin collection procedures, i.e. garnish your wages, have your property auctioned off, etc.  You didn't ask, but I can't help but chime in that you do not owe the daughter anything; you owe your friend's estate, and only a representative of the estate (executor or administrator) can properly sue you for it.  This will probably require a beneficiary of the estate to start a court proceeding to get the court to authorize him or her to act for the estate. It may be that the daughter is the sole beneficiary, but it may also be that your friend had creditors who would be paid first from the estate and/or other beneficiaries who are entitled to their share of the money, or the daughter may not even be a beneficiary at all.  In any of these cases, paying the daughter will not satisfy your obligation to the estate.
