Most likely you will need to file a police report for the criminal actions that took place, which I see at least 4... View More

I’m sorry for your loss. You will have to probate her estate in the county where she resided when she passed. However, if you are her only heir, it should be relatively inexpensive and fast, especially if her entire estate was worth $200,000 or less.
