The first question is whether mother is still competent to make a will. If so, the next question is, what does mother want?
Mother should have her own lawyer help her with this, and if she doesn't have a lawyer, she should pick one herself. Otherwise, whichever sibling helps her pick the lawyer will be open to charges of undue influence.
