Re: trustee of deceased property

Your parents should go visit with an attorney in their county who is experienced handling estates. The attorney can assist them in getting appointed by the Court to handle your sister's finances and to settle her estate.

Re: trustee of deceased property

Since there are mortgage loans, I am assuming that your sister owned real estate. This will require a probate estate to be opened and administered. I would suggest contacting an attorney experienced in probate to help with this.
