You may still need to go back to court. The judge will not be sympathetic to her cause and may order that she pay your costs, including your attorney fees. You should be consulting with your attorney about how best to proceed, however. Your attorney has ALL the relevant facts of your matter and that may have a big impact on how you proceed.

Where did the death occur? That would be the location for the probate of estate. The probate attorney then would obtain an attorney in the state where the real property is located to open an ancillary probate in that state to obtain an order into your name to sell the property, and close out the probate in that state; the money would be transferred to the probate in the state of deceased's residence to probate the balance of the estate; if there was no estate in the state of death, than you would open a probate only in the estate where the property is located to obtain the order to sell the property.
