Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

I inherited a house, along with three other siblings from my parents. We are equal owners of the property. One of my siblings removed my personal possessions from the house without my consent or knowledge. She also changed the locks and has refused to return my possessions. What can I do to get her to return my possessions to the property? What if she's damaged them or has done away with them?

File criminal charges against her. Or, open the succession so it shows your ownership. However, even if the succession is not opened, or even if you do not own a part of the house, you own the personal property and no one can dispose of it without a court order.
