Generally, no, that isn't legal. If there are probate assets remaining after payment of all estate bills and debts, those assets should be divided according to the Will. However, there are some details regarding your mother's estate that may change what you are entitled to (ie: non-probate assets). I would advise you speak with a probate attorney as soon as possible.
