You cannot do anything until you find her. Then you have to file a lawsuit for breach of contract, serve her, and perhaps reopen the probate proceeding. If there were no will, then, apart from the house, she would only get 50%. If you do all of the above, then you may still have to spend a great deal of money and effort to enforce any judgment that you get.
