If the relative does not have living parents and only one sister, the sister needs to open a probate matter, become the executor, pay legitimate outstanding debts, collect assets, and administer the estate until there is a time for distribution. At that point, the sister would take ownership of the remaining assets.
If you need additional information about the probate process, and you don't already have counsel, I am available to discuss the matter with you.
