I think you should move into the house and establish your residence there. Right now you are responsible owner of the property and as such  you should start treating as such. and you have a person living scot free in your house.  you are a defacto landlord, whether you like it or not.... if you live there,  you can start dictating to mary.  she needs to begin paying for utilities that are in your name, food, ect (split of course) and get it in writing the breakdown of these costs  for mary.

I';m not saying that you start charging her rent.  but  insurance needs to be paid, property taxes, ect.   she can't continue to live free...you are not her mother...

Maybe mary is pissed and since you are not there to keep eyes on things, she decides to start screwing around with the house.  breaking things, ect,  IE  running up your cost of home ownership.

You and mary don't get along.  no problem.  if you live in your house,  mary might decide that she wants to live elsewere.  Maybe she doesn't like it when you stay up late studying or having your friends over for a party, ect.   Kind of be passive aggressive.

Don't sell the house right away.  if you sell the house,  then mary and Roy could force the cash from the sale to be put in escrow if the will is contested.  Then you essentially have nothing until a judge decides.  By living in the house  you are showing a desire to be there.

If the house isn't to your liking,  Location, style, memories, ect.  then sell it eventually. and use the proceeds to buy another property.  having a house that is paid for is a huge benefit...don't sell and rent.

I rented for about a year out of college before I bought my first house.  Rent is such a waste of money...  Just don't....
