Did you mom leave a will? If not, then the surviving siblings are the heir to the property. As long as the taxes on the property have been paid, there should be no tax notes - I am confused? If there is a will then deposit it with the clerk of court's office along with her death certificate so that the property can be listed in the names of the siblings. YOu each can buy the other out until only one ownes the property otherwise, divided the tax bill among all of you. Expect that some one is going to want rent.
