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.
