The legal demand notice or any case regarding the above said matter is not maintainable. An appropriate response would suffice and nullify this demand notice. You and your family members are not bound to pay this debt if any.

There cannot be any criminal case either against you against your mother maximum the opposite party can initiate civil proceeding for recovery. The said recovery can be made against the estate created by your father. But right now you should send reply to said legal notice. Detailed advice can be tendered only after perusal of all record.

Preliminary opinion on the limited facts: See liablity of dues of a deceased passes over to one who gets the assets. There are other vital circumstances to be seen such as privy of the contract, the terms of agreement, the amount which was due on your father, property transferred. Therefore, you may not be laible to pay depending on the surrounding circumstances.
For a definitive opinion, i would need to know following:
1. Mode of transfer.
2. Was any agreement signed?
3. Cause of taking the money.
4. Father's property and its succession.
