In the UK no ... in principle her assets are locked until such point as they officially become yours. The reason for this is because the will is not always the last word, it can be challenged by others. If you are a dependent then it may be different but otherwise I assume you would need to get permission (not sure who from but your solicitor or estate executor should be able to advise you).
