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?

Yes, probate the estate and let the personal representative do it. As a matter of fact, I am not sure how the heirs can transfer title if they don't have it. If title has been transferred to the 6 of you, about all you can do is sue for apportionment and the court will probably order the sale of the property

You and your sibling(s) can sign a DMV form transferring title to the heirs.  You can then sign another form transferring your interest to your brother.  These are available online.

Estate Planning lawyer at Shutt Law Firm, PLLC
No, only his estate is liable for his debts. None of the family will be liable for the debts, unless someone co-signed on the debt.
