The law says that you are liable for the debts of your deceased father, to the extent of the estate inherited by you from your father. In case, there is no such inheritence, then you are not liable.

You are not personally liable & remember there is no case of cheating under section 420 I.P.C. can be initiated against you in any circumstances,dont be afraid.
