Legal Question in Consumer Law in Illinois

Transferring property without a will

My Mom died 2 years ago, without a will, she did not have any assets, enough insurance just to cover her burial...she did have a small lot of land in New Mexico, I have the Deed but it was never transferred to my sister or I, I have been paying the taxes on it, how would I go about getting it changed into my sister and mine Name, we live in Illinois, thanks
