The answer will depend upon how the title reads.

The land will pass according to how the title of the property is listed. Your mother should consult an attorney to review the deed and to provide advice to her about how best to handle her estate so that it passes according to her wishes. If she fails to do so, it may end up that the half sister will inherit mom's share and you and your sister will get nothing.
