Very sorry to read that you lost your mother. I'd like to help, but I am a little confused. Was the estate left to your aunt or to you? You said she is the executor, but you did not mention if she is also a beneficiary, there is a BIG difference.
Do you know if there was only a will or was there also a trust? Do you have access to it? What State are you in? What State was your mother a resident of when she passed away?
If you want to answer a few questions for me, I'll see if I can direct you a little better.
