As the only legal heir at law, and if your mother had no will, you would be entitled to her entire estate. You need to engage an attorney in the county in which your mother resided and file a petition for appointment of a personal representative, and do it sooner rather than later. If the people claim some sort of agreement with your mother, they are going to have to prove it with facts, not just their self serving statements. Best of luck.
