Depending on the size of the check and her other assets you and the other heirs either need to file a probate or a no administration necessary. The first step is a consultation with a lawyer to determine which you should do.

Since there was no will, probate is not a consideration. However, administration or "no administration necessary" are your routes. Consult with a local attorney.
