Generally, an estate that has real estate must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs legally. If the executor has not filed the will for probate then you should contact an attorney and petition the court to be appointed the administrator of the estate as though there was no will. That way you can set things in motion. If the executor doesn't produce the will, you will be appointed the administrator and will have the authority to settle the estate. The property will pass according to the state laws on intestacy to your mother's heirs-at-law and you would eventually get your share.
You should schedule a consultation with an attorney who specializes in probate law ASAP.

The age requirement to be an executor varies by jurisdiction, but generally you must be at least 18 years old to serve as an executor. It is important for an executor to be mentally capable and legally competent to fulfill their duties.
Your mother's will should be probated. The court will decide if the will is valid and then will appoint the executor. Since your sister is the named executor the court will want either to appoint her or will want her to decline to be appointed in writing. You can then petition to be appointed. Once the will has been allowed and the executor has been appointed the distribution of the property must be carried out according to the law, to the provisions of the will and in a timely manner. Creditors will have an opportunity to make a claim. If your mother owned any real estate her estate MUST be probated in order for title to pass to her heirs. If she had bank accounts in her name alone the executor will be given authority by the court to close the accounts and distribute the proceeds. If your mother owned any such property you should seek the advice of an attorney.

They are different.When referring to loans secured by real property a deed of trust is the term (and process) used in some states for a loan secured by real estate. The property is transferred to a trustee until the loan is paid and then the trustee transfers the property back to the owner by a trustee's deed.In many states a mortgage is used to secure real property that is used as collateral for a loan. When the loan is paid the mortgage is discharged.Both terms have a different meaning when referring to conveyancing.

You can't be executor of an estate if the individual is still living. However, the executor can make people move out of the house.
Most states require filing of probate as a first step in appointment of the executor, which then gives the executor the power to collect and appraise the property of the estate and liquidate the portfolio for distribution.It depends on what you mean by "probated." Probate includes the entire process, which can last for years, until all assets are distributed. "Before the will is probated" could be taken to mean "before probate is filed", or "before everything required under probate is completed."So, technically yes, if the latter, because an executor has the power to do that DURING the probate of an estate. However, if the probate has not yet been filed, nobody has the power, as it died with the owner. Many elderly have ownership of such things placed into joint tenancy with right of survivorship, so that another person can immediately access the funds without probate.
