What is the name of your state? ` Michigan

My mother-in-law passed away. She had a son and a daughter (my wife). The son is living in her house. We're (the wife/daughter and I) are paying the mortgage, taxes, utilities, etc.-- the son is a student (college, 20 years old) We need to know what to do regarding this situation- what are the proper steps? The mother/deceased has a sister that tells us she's the "executor" of the estate. What are her responsibilities? She simply tells us what and how much payments are and when they are due. We can not afford this. Who does the house now belong to? Who is responsible for the mortgage payments/property taxes? Where is the first place to start to get questions answered? What needs to be answered first? Sorry about the lack of knowledge regarding all of this- sometimes things happen rather unexpectedly. Thank you
