Unfortunately, you need to get an estate litigation attorney to represent you, and fast. No, your half sister does not have the right to just go into your father's possessions and take things, and if your aunt who is the nominated Executor isn't taking appropriate actions to get the property back so that the estate can be administered properly then you may need to have a different Executor appointed. Keep in mind that you will be facing an uphill battle, but that you are the only one who can ensure that your interests are being protected. Best wishes to you and please accept my condolences on the loss of your father.
