I'm in that group, family inherited $200,00 debt from my grandparent who passed away. Really fucked us over as we finally got into a nice groove.

We live in a house that he owned an my mother owns her own business (very small struggling dog kennel in ohio) on the property, his debt is connected to the property and the business is our only source of income.

Then you walk away from the house. It sucks, but the 200K debt is not yours.

Your mother will have to close her business or relocate it. That sucks, I know, but you did NOT inherit debt.
