That depends on how your mother and her son held title on the deed. If they held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then when she died her son became the sole owner of the property. If they owned as tenants in common then when your mother died her half interest in the property would pass to her heirs at law if she had no will. The attorney who is handling the estate should be able to answer your questions and to examine both the validity of the deed from your mother to herself and her son and the tenancy that was created in the deed.
There may be other assets apart from the real property that you are entitled to.

My sister is suing me for half of the house i live in. my father passed away without leaving a will. when he died my sister agreed for me to put house in my name.i did. does she have any right?
If your father died intestate then his property passed to his next of kin according to the laws of intestacy in the state where he lived. If you and your sister were his only next of kin then you each would inherit a half interest in his property both real and personal. However, in order for title to real estate to pass to the heirs his estate must be probated. If you were the court appointed administrator of your father's estate you would need a license from the court to make any changes in the ownership of the real estate. If you obtained a license from the court to transfer the property to your name and your sister assented to that license then it's too late for her to change her mind. However, if the estate was not probated and you had no authority and license to transfer title then all your sister needs to do is petition the court to be appointed administrator of the estate. Any actions you took regarding the transfer of title would be null and void due to your lack of authority. When a person dies and there is real property or solely owned accounts in the estate an attorney who specializes in probate law should be consulted to initiate a probate proceeding. The average person has no background in probate law and errors made by a non-professional can be costly down the road.
