I am the executor of my parents will. My Dad passed away years ago and my Mom recently. They left us a house and a will we did not probate. The house was left to me, my two sisters,nephew and brother who had died previously before my Mom. The problem is that one of my brother's children my niece will not sign to sell the house because she has a judgemnet against her. Probating the will will not do any good. It has been over 4 years. She has not not paid any of the taxes. Is that a way of denying her heirship? Quick Claim will not work. I am lost. I need help!
Hi jwervin,

If her name is mentioned on the will, then you cannot deny her heirship. You will have to probate the will and she needs to transfer her share of the property either to you or to any one of the heirs. If she does so, then you can sell off the property without her signatures.

Thanks

Her name is not mentioned on the will but my brother is so she is the child or next decendent or my mom's grandchild. As said before the will can't be probated because it has been over four years as for I as know in Texas. Can you probate a will anytime?
