I'm sure this question has been asked a million times here but this is new to me so any help would be useful.
My father died and left no will, leaving my mother and five children - all adults.
We went to the probate court and obtained a Letter of Adminstration to resolve my father's estate which consists of the family home and a sperate piece of land.
We wish now to chnage the name on the deeds of these two property. My questions are:

We wish now to chnage the name on the deeds of these two property. My questions are:
- How is the property divided on the deed. I have been told that 2/3 goes to my mother, and remaining third is split among us five siblings, therefore all ourt names appear on the deed with this breakdown of how the property is shared. Is this right?
- I suspect my sister may at some stage look for her share. Could she force my mother to sell the house to pay her off? Could she force us to sell up to pay her off? None of us are seeking our share as we would be prefer my mother to stay in the home she's lived most of her life in.
- Finally, do we need a solicitor to change the names on the deeds. We've been told conflicting stories. How does the Land Registry know how the property is divided in ownership terms? On our say so!!!?
