Do not IN ANY WAY attempt to represent yourself in this, which is what it appears you are doing. Any house will have so much value to you that is will be worth it to spend money to protect it. It always makes sense to spend $1000 to get $100,000 for example. Take a copy of the deed your mother signed and recorded placing you as a co-owner to a lawyer, who can tell you whether you are in fact now the sole property owner.
