I gave my mother a painting as a gift. She recently passed away. Am I entitled to get it back. She did not specify it the will as being given back to me?

Am I entitled to get it back??
She did not specify it the will as being given back to me?
I gave my mother a painting as a gift. She recently passed away. Am I entitled to get it back. She did not specify it the will as being given back to me?
She left everything POD for her bank accounts and did a TOD for the house to my sister and I. My sister is being difficult with how I'm handling things. The will said the contents are to be divided which is the challenge. I believe a gift is part of the estate but if there is great sentimental value wasn't sure how that is handledAre there any other heirs besides you?
What did the will say about her personal property in general?
If you and your sister can't agree on who gets the painting you will have to sell it (if it has any value) and split the cash.

I am executor and am waiting on the judge to approve me as estate representative. I was named representative in the will. The household contents were not assigned to any specific person. Making an itemized list of contents. Some of which are family heirlooms.
The executor is not entitled to use his/her position for personal benefit.
Much appreciated!A very fine line to walk, if the heirs tend to be quarrelsome and/or greedy!
However, very wise legal knowledge has been disclosed for which someone should be grateful.
