Get to an estate administration attorney. Locating the trust, if one exists, is a priority. If the title is in the name of the trust, and you cre not able to locate it, there is no way of determining who is to get the house. If you can't find it, check with your mothers attorney who prepared it ( she did use an attorney?) . If the deed does not reflect ownership in the trust you need to try to locate a will or go to probate based on intestacy.
Step 1: Find the deed
Step 2, Find the Trust or Will
Step 3 Go to an estates attorney.
