Any one or all of you should petition to be appointed as the Administrator of your mother's estate. You can check with one of the clerks at the Surrogate's Court and I am sure that you will get helpful advice.

You qualify for a small estate administration. This is a fairly simple form that may be completed at the Surrogate's Court. You should go to the clerk at the local Surrogate's Court and inquire.
