My mother in law passed away and left house to us, what do we do?

In Texas there is a simple form of probate where the will is admitted as a Muniment of Title only. If that was the form of probate, then the order proving up the will is sufficient to transfer title to the beneficiaries - there is no other document necessary. If there was an administration where an executor was appointed, it was that executor's duty to transfer the house into the beneficiaries name(s) by recording a deed of some kind. If this was not done, you may need to contact an attorney to get the court to order the administrator to do his job.

No, as what you are suggesting, requires a specific power of attorney, identifying the property, describing the property, assesors parcel number; best to have the person who owns the property grant the property from himself to himself and his brother.

As you describe the situation,the estate did have assets. It had the $5,000 you and your sibling are disputing. You are not entitled to the assets of the estate without some action, perhaps as little as filing a small estate affidavit. As much as you do not want to consider it, your sibling is in the right until you take action to give you a legal right to some portion of the $5,000.
