Check with your county clerk's office. If there has been a probate there should be a personal representative's deed which you can present to have the deed placed in your name. If you were joint on the deed with your mother you will probably just need to present a quick claim deed to have your mother's name removed from the deed. Each state is different so get guidance from an attorney or the county clerk.
