If there was no will, you and your siblings are heirs and will inherit the home. A careful look through your mother's records, such as bank accounts, tax records, etc. should reveal whether the home is owned outright. It would be wise of the heirs to consult an attorney at least for help in where to look and what do do with what is found. There is no reason for the three of you to get at cross purposes, but that can happen, and having an attorney to assist in the process should help avoid conflict.
