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.

If my Poppa who has recently died, put his half of a property him and his sister own in his will,does that mean his sister will have to sell the house

The people to whom your father left his half of the property may continue to own it with his sister or they or his sister may bring a suit for partition.  Then either they will buy out the sister, the sister will buy them out or the house will be sold and the net proceeds split according to their ownership interests.

Follow your lawyer's advice. Once you are appointed Administrator of your Father's estate you will be in charge, but also responsible for handling the estate.
