I am so sorry for your loss. If your Mom des with out a Will it is known as dying intestate. If you sister was appointed as the fiduciary she has an obligation to advise those that would inherit under the intestacy laws - and that would be you - of the goings on. But you can also ask or review the court file, as a probate is a public record. Start there with the file. Then ask. Good luck.
