Probate

My mom passed away on 11/9/06. She lived with me. I am the second oldest child. I had medical power of attorney. She has no will. She has no assets (only debt)- No jewelry, no home, no car, only the clothes in her closet. She had a 10k life insurance policy. My husband is the beneficiary and is using 8k of that for her burial expenses. She leased a car and they want me to file with probate court. What should I do?

Owner of real property was deceased intestate Sept. 2005 and administrator appointed. Appraisal completed 7 months ago. Is new appraisal required to sell property due to time beyond one year since deceased became deceased?
