As Mr. Weiss said, there is no hard and fast deadline generally speaking.  However, timing can be a significant issue depending on the assets in the estate, any debts which may have been owed, or if your mother received state assistance prior to her passing.  I suggest you sit down with a qualified estate planner to review the situation and give you a more detailed answer.

You will have to notify them as part of the probate process. There is no deadline to start the probate process, but it is generally better to start immediately following their death unless there are substantial debts in the estate.
