Her estate must go through Intestate Administration. Ultimately, a deed could be filed for you and your sister.

Presuming there were no interim Deeds, I agree with David.

I agree with the last two answers. Your mother should consider going to a wills/trust attorney to discuss protecting your interests in the house should she have to go to a nursing home, she gets sued and loses, or she dies intestate.
