Living in one's parents house after their demise

Q: If a person is living in his parents house and he has no resources to live somewhere else, so is it necessary in Islam to sell his parents house after their death? If he doesnt do that before getting financially stable, is there anything that his mother or father are getting gunah in the other world? I want to sell the house after some time just to ensure my mother or father is not getting any gunah for this? All my siblings have no problem with me living in the house.

Usurping the share of a child's inheritance

Q: My mother died when I was 8-9 months old and my father married another woman and had 2 more sons. But before that, my mother's property was all sold or distributed among many but me. I wasn't given a single portion of the property. And they even kept all this a secret from me till now, I wasn't even told that my real mother had died.

My question is that is this according to Islam, are they right or justified? And Is the selling and distributing of my real mother's property to others without her will (as she died suddenly) right/justified?

Inheritance

Q: My question is about inheritance according to Islamic Shari'a law. I have a stepmother who has no kids, I have one brother and one sister. What would be the inheritance share from a deceased man in case of two sons, one daughter and wife (our step mother) who has no kids. Our mother died long time ago.

Distributing inheritance

Q: I've been mandated by the family to be their General Power of Attorney in the handling of the properties of our late father. The property in question is in Pakistan. My late brother, an heir, was a resident in the UK. I requested documents from his siblings in the UK, namely a General Power of Attorney, which they obliged with. However, the documents needed to be attested with the Foreign Office and the Pakistani Embassy in the UK. They have had the documents attested, but now they are refusing to send the documents back to me. Regrettably I've sent a letter of demand/return of documents to them, with no success. What should I do?
