Hire an attorney in the state in the county where your
mother's home is. He or she will petition the court to
appoint you as personal representative.

The attorney could allow his or her payment for their
services to be paid out of the proceeds from the estate
after all debt obligations are paid.
You will discuss all this with the attorney of your choice.
You might ask around for good references on a good attorney
who will know how to proceed with your siblings
good Luck !
