I don't personally know the answer to this, but someone will be along soon that does.
Sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry; this must be a very difficult time for you.
I don't think your bankruptcy has anything to do with whether you can access your Mum's bank account. Undischarged bankrupts aren't prevented from acting as executors of a will (source.
Whether you can pay the bills from your mum's bank account funds (and whether you can, or should, pay them at all) is a bit more complicated. Did your mum leave a will?
Gov.uk publishes a brief guide called What to do after someone dies, which might help.0 -
