It would probably be split two ways and then you and your sister would split one of the halves. But I don't know PA law.

I just don't know how to ensure that those things are not sold off.Someone will have to open a case in Probate court. An executor will be appointed. If it is not a big estate and the heirs get along then it does not have to be an attorney. It can be any family member who would have the knowledge of the estate and assets. Their is a good bit of work involved with being executor, but the executor will get paid a fee out of the estate for the work involved.
If no one can agree on how to split the personal items you can still buy them when they are sold at auction. You would get back 1/4th (or 1/3rd) of the money you pay to buy them.
