Pursuant to statute if there is an administration of an intestate (without) will or testate (with a will) the priorities as to who would be the captain of the administration (personal representative). In an estate the children would have equal priority and therefore you and your sibling would have to decide who would be the personal representative or the court will determine. In a testate estate the will would name the personal representative.
