Re: successions
Upon the death of your mother without a will, the 3 sisters and 4 brothers each become owners of 1/7 of the property your mother owned.(I am assuming there is not a husband/dad or other kids involved). In order to have the public know who the owners are now, you need to open a succession. Without more details, I believe any one of your siblings can force the sale of the house.
