Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Estate

My sister passed away with a current mortgage in her and deceased husband's name. I am on the deed as 50% owner of the house. I am trying to see what to do about the mortgage so that the payments can be made and to get the house in my name only. I do not know what to do in this matter. Please help in this matter
