You should retain an attorney to help you make sure you handle the estate properly. There are too many issues to answer here.

You're not real clear on the facts, So I''l just take a stab at it. If there was a valid will, you need to take that to probate court, have it proved up, and have letters issued. sou then use these letters to draft a deed from the estate to your siblings. If there is no will, then there are other procedures available, but they tend to be fact-specific.
