Is there a way to contest the transfer of deed to make my sister sole owner of my mom’s property?
My mother just passed away a little more then a week ago. Now we just found out my sister, who was living with her at the time, had my mom put her as the owner of the house. My mom hasn’t been of sound mind for 5 years and has deteriorated ever since. We have several siblings involved.

I am so sorry for your loss. If you can prove that you Mother did not have the legal capacity to make the transfer and/or that your sister "unduly influenced" your Mother then you can seek to have the transfer set aside. Please go and speak with an attorney in your state on the matter. Good luck.
