For starters who were her heirs?

If you are not on the deed, then you are not considered the legal owner. The next question would be who are the heirs. If there are other heirs aside from yourself, you should consult with a real estate attorney in your are immediately. Perhaps the other heirs would be willing to convey the property to you or perhaps there could be something you can do to claim an ownership interest.
