An estate would need to be opened and someone appointed as executor or administrator of the estate in order to deal with the house and mortgage company and any other assets left in her name. There should have been an executor named in the will but if not, either one of you would be able to apply to be administrator. I would be happy to assist you with the process as it can be complicated without an attorney. You can contact my office if you would, my website is www.socrateslegal.com .
