Once an estate has been opened and you have been appointed by the court, yes, you will be able to access these assets. Until that time, you would have no access, unless you have also been named as agent under a power of attorney form for your mother.

Can an estate be handled without an attorney?

It is not advisable to administer an estate without an attorney. The cost savings is rarely beneficial when weighed against the delays and issues that will likely occur doing it yourself.
