Atlanta, TX Estate Planning Law Firms & Lawyers

First, your father's estate must be probated by a Court heirship proceeding, small estate affidavit or Affidavit of Heirship, passing his interest to your mother (if all his children are her children). Second, if your mother lacked legal capacity to contract when she "sold" the lots to your sister, report elder exploitation to Adult Protective Services. Third, if the person who purchased from your sister did not know all this, your remedy is to sue your sister for the money she got from selling the lots. You may be eligible for free representation through Volunteer Legal Services or discounted representation through the Modest Means program of Lawyer Referral Service in your area or through a clinic at a nearby law school.

Your property will pass by your will, if you have one, or the intestacy statute if you have no will. If you have no will, then you have to look at how you acquired the property. Was it separate or community? Separate property and community property are divided differently.

It depends. Has this gone through probate and been distributed to the heirs, already? Or is the property still in the estate? If it is in the estate, then the Personal Representative can sell without getting ANYONE else's consent.
