Best Answer

the surviving spouse is the legal beneficary unless otherwise stated Her Children. Each state has rule of intestacy that specify how an estate will be divided if there is no will. Typically the spouse will inherit all, but if there are children it is often divided into halfs and the spouse gets half and the children get the other half.

Can you use your deceased mother's bank account?

Not unless you were also named as a joint owner of the account. If you and your mother had a joint account the full ownership passed to you upon her death. If the account was your mother's sole account you would need to forge her name to make any withdrawals. That is not legal. The account is part of her estate.
