    If there are no other siblings or heirs involved then I'd just go and take the deceased's personal effects (assuming you have a key to the property.) Then I'd speak with an attorney about being granted ownership of the property, since there was no will. It should be a fairly routine process. You can decide whether to keep it or sell it. If there are any liens (such as a mortgage), that'll have to be satisfied, either by continued installments or by selling the property and using the proceeds of the sale to satisfy the lien.
