My mother has died her death certificate has been recorded will someone get a hold of next to kin

It's not clear WHO this "someone" is. If your mother had a will, and if the named executor knows she has died, then that person should begin administration. If you, as a person who lived with her, know where the will is, YOU should lodge it with the court and locate the named executor. If she didn't have a will or a trust, then anyone can file for a probate (if her assets are sufficient to require a probate) to get authority to distribute her assets.
