No -- or, at least, not yet. First the estate of your stepmother's mother must be probated (proving what she owed, what she owned and who gets what according to her Will or, if she did not have one, the laws of heirship in her state). Then your stepmother's estate must be probated. If you "inherited everything," the Will should say this. If there was no Will and you were not adopted, your stepmother's sisters may well win their contest.
