If your surviving parent died intestate (without making a will) without leaving their home to you then their estate must be probated in order for title to the property to pass to the heirs. I am assuming your parents owned the property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship and after the first parent died their interest passed automatically to the surviving spouse. Intestate property passes according to the laws in the state where the property is located. You should collect and make copies of proof all mortage payments you made. You should also collect and make copies of all the property tax, insurance and repairs you have paid for. Your sibling is probably legally entitled to one half of the value of the property. Your lawyer should seek to charge off one half of every bill you have paid to maintain the property against your sibling's half in order to reduce the amount you will need to buy her interest and obtain clear title to the property. Perhaps the full amount of the mortgage payments could be deducted from your sibling's half. You should contact an attorney to discuss your rights, your options and how to arrange to have the title transferred to you legally.
