I hope your sister lives thirty more years. If not, then the credit crd credtiors may be able to open an estate for your sister, if the family does not. If her estate has an interest in the house you describe, then they may be able to execute upon her interest. It may come down to how the house is titled now. Your sister (and/or your mother) may need to consult direclty with an atotrney in their area, to examine the real estate documents.
Good luck
