Your mother's estate is responsible for her debts, not you. This means that you need to use her estate to pay off er debts, but if there is not enough to pay all of them off, you just need to negotiate with her creditors and pay what you can. What can't be paid for out of her estate does not get paid. If you keep the car, you can just keep making the payments until your credit is better, and I doubt the lender will say anything. If you do not change the title of the car to your name, and get pulled over, you can be charged with improper registration, so I would change the title as soon as possible.
