The answer

You are not legally obligated to pay off the debts of the two apartments your father gifted to your brothers. It is not just for a father to prefer some of his children over others in gifting. Nevertheless, it is advisable to obey your father and pay some money towards the debt as a form of filial piety. If you are unable to do so, apologize in a polite manner.
