You should have received notice of the probate proceeding as heirs at law. Title to the house will not pass to the heirs until the estate has been probated. You should call the attorney who is handling the estate to ascertain what your interest may be.

Therefore, surviving parents would inherit before any siblings of the deceased. However, specific laws can vary by jurisdiction, so it's important to consult local laws for precise details.
