The Nominee legally has No Rights on the Assets and Bound to Take care of Distributing the Property among the Legal Heirs of the Deceased by following the Legal Formalities. In your case your self and Your Sister are the Legal Heirs and Both have Equal Rights.Consult A Local Good Advocate and Complete the Legal Formalities Like Obtaining Legal Heir Certificate Etc.

Your sister is also vested with a share in the property. A nominee is only a trustee.

Know the procedure from society and proceed. Your sister can claim, try to have amicable settlement with her.
