You can do this by setting up a trust for her benefit that passes to your child at her death. Talk to an estate planning attorney.

Depends on if there are assets to be probated - Mom would still have priority for appointment, though.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Answered by attorney Peter David Ticktin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Ticktin Law Group
Sorry to hear of your mother's death. I'm a little confused by your question, as you indicate you want no involvement with the house, but at the same time ask about your refusal to sign paperwork which would ultimately remove your involvement with the property. Since you did not mention an instrument that would be effective upon the death of your mother, it may require Court intervention to transfer the deed. However, you are not required to take property, of which you do not want in a situation as you describe. If you refuse to sign paperwork, and your sibling would be an heir to the property, then your refusal to sign anything will likely result in you having no interest in the property. However, if your intention and goal is to have no involvement with the property, it may be more practical to disavow any interest in the property, and sign the necessary paperwork to effectuate your intention.
