Who is the benificiary of my deceased sister’s estate?

Can a sister be the executor of an estate?

In the case of an estate, the primary job of the executor is to identify all of your mother’s assets, ascribe a value to them and carry out the provisions of the will (if there is one or, if not, then the specific state intestacy laws). If there is no will, your sister would be known as an administrator rather than an executor.

Why did my sister take over my mother’s estate?

Your sister appears to have overstepped her role as executor, and views it as a free license to do as she pleases, and lord it over the rest of you. She is beholden to the laws of her state where your mother died, and must act accordingly.
