Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York
My mother recently added my sister to the title of her house. She wanted to have her half pay for her final expenses. My question is that, does her half interest in the house remain part of her estate or become my sister's property?

That depends on how the deed is worded. If they are joint tenants, all goes to the survivor. If tenants in common, mom's half is part of her estate.
