A: Attorneys need a whole lot more information to answer a legal question. Did your mother have a will? Who are the beneficiaries? Is the home paid for or in foreclosure? Did she have a husband? You need to call a lawyer and provide a lot more information. We cannot provide legal advice with such limited information.
