How do turn over our share of land to our brother?

Estate Planning lawyer at Peters Law, PLLC
If there is a probate estate, you can probably give up your interest in the land in the estate. Alternatively, you could sign a quit-claim deed to your brother.

Which home from the will should be sold first?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
A very tough question, which can't really be answered on a website. The will does not "speak" until your aunt passes away. First question is, is your aunt still competent? If yes, it is her call which house gets sold. If no, and you are acting under power of attorney, it gets complicated; you need to respect her estate plan, but that will not be easy to do. In that case, you need a lawyer to work through this so you do not end up with liability to a nephew who loses out.

Did he own half of everything they had or does that just apply to debt?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
Texas is a community property state, so once your father married your stepmother, the property and income they acquired became community property. Because your father died without a will, the Texas intestate succession laws apply. They determine who is entitled to what part of your dad's estate. Because he left behind a fairly large amount of property, it is necessary for his estate to go through the legal proceeding known as administration. Please make sure to consult with an attorney who is experienced in this type of law. Your step mother's 401k belongs to her. It will be up to her to determine who should inherit it because from your question it appears she is still alive. If she writes a will, that will determine who is entitled to her 401k and retirement accounts.
