The problem is that you are not 18. When you turn 18 may be relavant as to what might be done. As the sole heir, without a will, you are entitled to the property, and it would be through a probate proceeding to transfer it. If you are an early 17, then you probably will need the help of someone older to represent your interests.
It does not matter that you are 17 to own property. You can own property at any age - its whether you can afford to keep it that may be a problem. Do you have a mother? Someone will have to be appointed your guardian unless you are emancipated.
