How do I gain control of my deceased mothers estate from my younger sibling

When your sister files a petition to be named as administratrix you need to contest it. In PA this is done by something called a Caveat. Not sure what KS requires but you would be well served to get with an estates attorney immediately. If she has not applied perhaps you can beat her to the punch and have yourself named. Get counsel immediately. Hope this helps. Please remember to designate a best answer to your question.
