If your mother owned any property in her own name then her estate must be probated. You are not an executor until you have been officially appointed by the probate court. You should contact an attorney who specializes in probate. You should ask friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers if they had a good experience with any probate lawyers in your area. There are so many it is a good idea to see if someone you know can make a referral before you hire a stranger. If no one can make a referral you can speak to two or three to find one you feel comfortable with.
