Re: personal representative regarding property
It appears that the concern the mortgage company has is that only the will requests you be the personal rep, not a probate court having appointed you and provided the Letters of Authority. I would recommend that you contact an attorney and see about opening a probate estate to settle this matter and any creditor claims that may be part of your mother's estate.
