Have an attorney draft a will that directs all assets of your estate be passed on to your children and specifically excludes your current spouse. Some states require that a surviving spouse receive a portion of the decedent's estate. Your attorney will be able to tell you what your state laws are.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Answered by attorney Douglas A Tull (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Douglas A. Tull, P.C. Attorney at Law
Yes - but title to the house can't be legally transferred (or sold) to anyone without a probate proceeding being commenced - and someone being appointed Personal Representative. The house may have to be sold to pay funeral, administrative and other expenses - leaving cash to be distributed to heirs - which it sounds as if both you and your brother are. So I'd advise you to consult with an attorney to learn more and protect your rights.
