Secure the house and have the mail forwarded to another address, where somoen will pick it up. Cancel all magazine subscriptions. Do not let the house have the appearance of being vacant, yet full of personal property. Theives read obituaries. Consult with the siblings to see if a small esate may be necesary or some other probate or extra-probate mechanism might work best for the group. That is assuming your mother left no surviving spouse. You all need to consult direclty with a probate attorney to discuss the specific facts of your mother's estate.

Good luck
