I am so sorry for your loss.  You need to have some one appointed as the fiduciary of the estate. It can only be transferred via executor's deed. If she passed away intestate then the intestacy statutes apply for distribution. If this was her only asset and ll other passed automatically upon death then you can probably do this for very little.  So negotitie a price.  You could do it on your own but you may come up against a wall if the state requires certain affidavits as to the family structure.  Good luck.
