It depends on the ownership of the house.  you have to get a copy o fthe deed and look at the ownership.  It is possible that you owned the house as joint tenants with right of survivorship, which would mean you get your sister's share of the hosue when she died, or she would have gotten your share if you died first. Start with the deed.
