The answer to your question depends on many facts that are not presented. Chief among them is whether your father is still alive and if so, is he legally competent. If he is legally competent, the answer is always no you cannot take control of his estate. If he is alive but not competent, you will need to go to court to have yourself appointed the conservator of his estate. If he is dead, it depends on whether he left a will or not. If he left a Will, were you nominated to be the executor? Was someone else? If he did not leave a Will, are you his only child? Was he married at the time of death? In all cases, is there any reason why you would not qualify as the person to be in charge?

Not enough information to answer the question. However, the Will has no legal effect while she is alive. Is there a Trust? Is she competent? What does she want to do, it's her property until she dies. She can change her Will any time she wants to. She can sell any property that she may have mentioned in the Will.

Upon your father's death, his debts pass to his estate. No one else is personally liable for his debts (except to the extent that you hide his assets from his creditors). You should probably speak to an attorney soon.
