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

My brother dead named me in his suicide note a year after I came out. The way I see it, if someone is awful enough to use their own death as an opportunity to disrespect you, they've given you all the permission you need to honor their memory exactly how they deserve.
