If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
I assume that title to the property is in the name of the heirs, and not still in the name of the decedent. If this is true, then the only way to force the sale of the property is through a lawsuit called a "partition." If the property is still in the name of the decedent, then a probate must be opened to sell the property.

Will getting the house in our names prevent us from losing it?

Answered by attorney David L. Leon
Estate Planning lawyer at David L. Leon, P.C.
I'm unclear. Did the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program send the notice regarding the parent's estate or your brother's estate? You should speak with the lawyer who probated the will. The Medicaid Estate Recovery Program is a creditor, and you would use the debt classification system of the Estates Code. I just can't tell from the email which estate MERP is going after.

Am I responsible for the bills that belonged to my deceased mother?

Her children are not directly responsible for your mother's debts. To the extent that you received assets as a result of her passing, creditors might be able to force you to pay. Even though you have no direct liability, in some cases the creditors will try to convince you to pay; don't without consulting first with a probate lawyer.
