Can the government take my stocks if I have never used them?


My dad bought me (25f) and my siblings stocks when we were younger. My siblings have a little more than me, but I have about 17k worth of stocks (McDonalds and Disney i think).
My mom just told me that my brother and I need to sign some documents otherwise the government will take them because we have never used them….. idk I just feel weird about the whole thing. Only my brother and I but not my younger sister?
Can anyone explain any of this? Also, I had completely forgotten about these stocks until my mom just casually mentioned them (also weird that she has not mentioned them to me even though I am a adult now).
I saw the statements though so I do believe her about the stocks, but I don’t want to sign anything until I know whats going on. Also my dad is no longer in our lives and it is impossible to ask him what is going on.
We live in VA btw.
