Re: sister passed away
You are going to need to probate the estate. If there are no objections from anyone, you can likely do this through the mail.
You should contact an attorney to get this process started and to prepare all the forms for you. It is generally not a complicated process for an attorney, but you need to get started soon, especially if the house is vacant.
Let me know if I can be of help to you.
