As the Executor you are in control. The Executor is the only one able to sign a deed to transfer title.

Do I have to sign anything at all?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
The asset will need to be probated. Unless you disclaim your interest by signing a disclaimer or sign a consent to alternate distribution whereby you agree he will receive your interest, you will receive interest in the home or estate, assuming there are two children. The percentage will change if there are more children.

Will the IRS take the home left to my brother in a will? How?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
The IRS may take the house or put a lien on it for back taxes. Perhaps the better question is can your brother-in-law afford the expenses of owning a house if he's so deeply in debt? If she's adamant about him having the house, perhaps she should put it in a trust with him as the beneficiary.
