Has your mother's estate ever been probated? Was there a Will giving the house to anyone?
From what you say, you may need to open a probate to handle your mother's estate, including the house.
Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss. If you are interested in pursuing the matter further, I off an initial 1/4 hour consultation without charge, and a 1/2 hour consultation for $50. If you want to set an appointment for the initial consultation, feel free to telephone, or email, my office; if you are outside of the Salt Lake area, we can handle all of this by phone.
