Yes, this is wrong. Your mother's things belong to her estate right now, not to your sister or anyone else. Whoever is the personal representative of the estate should be taking charge of this, and making an inventory of what your mother owned.
A lawyer familiar with probate law can give you more information, based on all of the facts of the case. One place to look for an attorney who can help you with this is our website, http://attorneypages.com
