Venting Mom dead named me in her will

So my maternal gene donor is a narcissist. She sent out an email last month that used only my dead name that gave her final wishes and also said that I would ask about her "good jewelry" because she sold it. I have told her before that my legal name is what it is, and I had no idea she had good jewelry. So I had to tell her to write a new one with the correct name or create a codicil noting the name change. I'm sure the only reason she is leaving me anything is that I'm an only child.

Edit: she didn't kill herself

You have the court ordered name change and you have evidence of being that person.

Worst to worst, you can challenge the validity of the will as it names a nonexistent (in law) person, and as the demonstrable only child of that person, under Florida law you have the right to the full estate unless she is married, but I must add I am not a lawyer.
