The Administrator of the estate MUST distribute the estate according to the laws of intestacy. Their only powers of discretion may lie in devising a fair system of distribution of personal items that cannot be divided equally.

Administrators are under the supervision of the court that made the appointment and must follow the laws of intestacy in making distribution. The Administrator will be held personally responsible if they violate the law. You can check the laws of intestacy of your state at the related question link provided below.

Does the Residuary estate go to all siblings on the will or can it go on a verbal agreement with the mother and all siblings present that divides the property equally?

The residuary estate is usually addressed in the residuary clause in the will. If the residuary estate is not addressed in the will then the residuary passes to the next-of-kin as intestate property according to the laws of intestacy. Distribution of an estate is governed by statute and not by any verbal agreements. A beneficiary can waive their rights to distribution but it must be done in writing and filed with the estate.
