How is the home going to be willed ? If to be sold and/or shared you will most likely require proof of NPPR either paid or (most likely) not due. You can get a form from your council/corpo and it will request esb bills for the house during the dates in question of when it was due. Get on to ESB and request these now. Make sure current property tax is up to date. I know it sounds morbid but in agreement with my family I withdrew 5k close to my mother's death to cover things outside of the funeral director's remit i.e. a meal at the funeral, flowers, snacks/drinks at the wake, music etc.
Shop around, I paid a solicitor €2k in legal fees for a very straight forward probate, most quoted around €3k, the solicitor who held the will quoted €7k.I also bring some baggage to this - my fathers will, which was vey straightforward, cost in the region of 55k in legal fees, I was not the executor.

€55k sounds wild.
In order to sell you still need a NPPR certificate of exemption from your local council to say the house was exempt between the relevant years, I think 2009 - 2013.NPPR only applies to a non-principal private residence - it was abolished several years ago. I'm not sure how it would be relevant here?

If the house was liable for NPPR and it was not paid, several thousand would be owed today.
If your mother has assets located outside the state, consider selling them now - this includes property, bank accounts and shares managed by non-Irish share registrars. If you can avoid having to obtain probate outside of Ireland, its well worth doing. If there are sufficient cash assets, make sure your mother is availing of the 3k pa gift allowance to minimise their CAT liability
