Short answer, they cannot keep you from entering your deceased sister's home.

You need to seek the assistance of a probate litigation lawyer to file a petition into probate to have you appointed to administer her estate and to obtain any restraining orders needed to prevent your siblings from entering the residence until a complete inventory has been accomplished.
