You can sue her estate within the time limit set out by Maryland. You have a short time to do so. The suit is not about the money, it's about getting a court judgment noting that your identity was stolen and your mother did it. Also, but now, you should have reported the identity theft to the police.
Also, you can obtain ideas on the following website --http://www.ehow.com/how_5770288_report-stolen-id-credit-agencies.html
Finally, you can dispute the reports with the credit report bureaus. This should be in writing and in accordance with the instructions noted on their sites. They have a limited time limit to resolve the matter once you dispute the reports.
