Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

Both parents passed away within 40 days of each other. Will was done in 2005 leaving estate to 4 daughters equally. 2006 the entire farm was put in one's name to protect parents from loosing farm in case of nursing home. This was done behind 2 of the daughters back. Later found out. Parents told me she was supposed to divide with the four of us at their death. Now this sister claims she is supposed to keep. Do we have any legal grounds at all? She is also executor of estate and has already sold a van belonging to estate without offering to heirs first. We have not been allowed to go thru parents things and are being told she will hand out what she wants to give us. What do you suggest?

Hire an attorney to challenge this sister's qualification by the probate court as executor of the will and sole beneficiary of the estate. (Big mistake to put the property in the name of this one sibling.)
