You may be right. Probate the estate. The court will appoint a Personal Representative who can put the house in your name. You can then sell and share the proceeds. You would be credited with any payments you make. I can help with the probate and advice. Good luck.

You need to probate your mother's estate. If she did not have a will or a husband, the house should go to you and your siblings. Contact the court clerk in your county or call an attorney for additional assistance. I would be happy to help.
