You need a probate attorney.

Did Mom have any debts when she died? Who is the executor named in the Will, that person will need to handle this PROPERLY.

It is my suspicion that the children of the one sibling will want their mothers share of the Estate as that sibling was living and did so for a couple of years after your Mothers death. After all if the Will had been properly executed in the first place they would now inherit an asset that partially belonged to their Mother, unless the Will stipulates otherwise.
