Contact an attorney in USVI. As a niece you should have certain rights to the estate. In the alternative, contact counsel in Florida whose has contacts in USVI, such as I.

If they were a USVI resident, then probate would be in USVI. You need to inquire there.

If your mother's aunt passed away with no children and her parents are now deceased, then the estate would pass to her siblings. If she has no surviving siblings then to the heirs of her siblings.
