The will should be contested if it has been submitted to probate. You will need evidence to show the court that the will should be voided.

If your mother had a will the proceeds from the sale must be distributed according to the will. If there is no will and no surviving spouse then to her children equally, if the child is deceased then that share goes to that child's children equally.

You will need the original will. If you have a copy contact the attorney who drafted the will to see if s/he has an original.
