Reporting the Deceased's Assets

Question
My mother passed away a week ago, and then my father passed away. My mother had left some money with me for her funeral preparations and condolence expenses, and she also has gold. Should I inform my siblings so that the gold and the remaining money can be included in the inheritance?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The heirs must be informed about the gold and money; because they are part of the estate, and they are divided according to inheritance, and God knows best.
