Amy,
God Bless you. I am sorry for your loss.
If the Reverse paid off the Mortgage when she took it out, she should have some equity left.
I would estimate around 70-80K, just based on the information you have provided.
Contact the Mortgage Co (The Reverse), let them know she has passed.
You can either sell the home to pay off the Reverse, or get a forward Mortgage to pay the balance, and then you own the home.

The Reverse co will give you 6 mos to sell it, and grant you up to two 90 day extensions if needed (maybe more in this market)

If I can help in any way, let me know.
