family responsibility

My Dad died in September 2000. He had no assets other than a $10,000.00 life insurance policy. The proceeds of the policy were split between myself and a half sister. Dad's funeral expenses were paid out of the proceeds of the insurance. Both my Sister and myself received $4,200.00. With no assets the county Probate Court would not probate the will, thus no estate existed.

Question: Dad had a vehicle leased through GMAC, it was returned in good condition earlier that the terms of the lease. GMAC is aggressively pursuing me to pay them $3,200.00. Since I did not contract for this vehicle I have no obligation ?

Also Dad had 1 credit card that I am being pressed to pay, and 3 hospital bills.

What am I legally obligated to do ?
