You have raised more questions than you have asked. For instance, the method for transferring title to real property following a person's death is usually to go through probate. However, your statement that brothers and sisters "split the money from her home" make it appear as though they were able to transfer title through some other means.

I think you need to have a consultation with an attorney reviewing the will, trust and any other applicable documents.

I agree. Yo uneed to provide some more information about how the home was titled and how your siblings managed to sell the home outside of Probate.

Additionally, what are the provisions of the will?
