A:
You are in a pickle of a problem without wills. Before your wife died, there were two homes that needed to be sold. if they had been sold, each sister would have received one half of the proceeds less expenses.
But now your wife has passed and I assume she has left no will. if you have children, they would receive her share.
However, If you have no children, then the property would have to go into probate and be divided in accordance with the Intestate Succession provisions of Probate Code section 240. Best of luck.
