    As Judy mentioned, if there is no will this will have to go though probate most likely, depending on how the house is deeded, * are you on the deed, are you on any of the bank accounts and so on.

    Are there other brothers and sisters ? As noted

    In all likely hood you will have to go to probate court and be assinged to be over the estate.
