A: You need to act fast. You should go get a copy of the Estate Paperwork, etc. They may have been required to serve you, and didn't, or created some other legal issue. However, if you do not get it all straight, you may lose anything you should have received. It sounds like you had at least 1/2 interest in the house when your mom died. However, that also may not be true. It really needs a professional look-over.

DO NOT WAIT! GET THE COURT PAPERS ASAP!
