Can an administrator do anything she wants?

Please help! My mum died intestate leaving four adult kids behind (my parents got divorced and Dad remarried years ago). DS somehow got herself declared administrator very quickly. I don’t have a great relationship with her. She has been pretty efficient with sorting out savings, but is being really weird about mum’s chattels, none of which is very valuable. One DB doesn’t want anything, other DB wants a few small things, I want a few small, sentimental items and DS has said she wants a few things. No one cares about the rest of the stuff. I had thought that there was an easy answer here, but DS is adamant that we can’t just split things up like this, but, instead, need a more formal process. DB and I objected that this was unnecessary but she has said that it is all up to her, and she can do whatever she wants (as long as it’s legally equal). She has a tendency to cut off her nose to spite her face and I’m worried she might do something like that here - eg auction everything and split the money. Is she right that she can do whatever she wants? I really don’t care about the money - I just want some of my mum’s stuff for sentimental reasons!
