Have a lawyer review the most current deed.

Since they died after Mom, their estates probably share in the property. I need to see the language of Mom's Will to be more accurate.

Most likely, the property interests of the deceased siblings passed to their intestate distributees or, if they died with a Will, to the beneficiaries of the Will. I suggest that you review the title to the house with an attorney.
