A: Depending on how long ago your mother died, you may be able to file an affidavit that shows you as the only heir which would allow you to manage the property and sell it. If that is not an option, you can file for no administration necessary with the probate court since you are the only heir. Once that is completed, the court will issue an order placing the property in your name. Schedule a free consultation to make sure the property is properly placed in your name.
