Your statement is quite general and does not reference what has her name on it.
If you owned it jointly than filing the Death Certificate may be sufficient.
I suggest you meet with a qualified Probate attorney to get some clarification. Sometimes you will not have to open a Probate case to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

What you need to do depends entirely on what assets you are talking about. Seek some legal guidance with all your paperwork. Better to do what is needed with the legal help and not try to do it on your own.
