You go to your local probate court and inquire about being appointed the Administrator of the estate. You should bring a certified copy of the death certificate with you. You should have received one from the funeral home that handled the burial. If not, then you can obtain a copy at the town clerk's office.
You may find that you need to hire an attorney who specializes in probate to handle the estate for you. She/he could help you petition to be appointed the Administrator.

Each person who co-signs a mortgage is equally responsible for paying the mortgage. If your mother has died then her estate must be probated.

Sister died leaving property to her mom. Before sister's probate was completed Mom died. Can Mom's executor deed the property to himself if Mom's will gives all her property to her son?
Generally, Mom's estate must be probated in order to pass title to the real estate. As soon as her will is allowed and the executor is appointed the title to the real estate passes to her son if that was set forth in her will. The executor can't convey the real estate contrary to the provision set forth in the will. As long as the will was probated the son owns the property. If the executor "deeded" the property to himself and he is not the son then that deed is null and void. You should seek the advice of an attorney.
If Mom died with no property or estate and will was not probated can IRS demand payment for taxes owed but not filed from previous years?

The executor should approach the brother to collect from him on the amounts owed. Debts are one of the primary reasons someone should open an estate. The estate has to pay off the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.
