Assuming there is no Will, and that your deceased sister died after both parents died, each of the 6 children would be entitled to 1/6 distribution of your mother's or father's estate (whichever died last would pass on the estate to the children). As to your deceased sister, her share would pass to her estate and would be inherited by her heirs (husband, children?).

You will likely need to go through the probate process, depending on what assets your parents owned and how they were titled. I have made some assumptions based on your question, if you like to talk about details, please feel free to call for a free consultation. Toll Free: (888) 487-6150.
