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?

Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
It depends. Has this gone through probate and been distributed to the heirs, already? Or is the property still in the estate? If it is in the estate, then the Personal Representative can sell without getting ANYONE else's consent.

Am I responsible for the bills that belonged to my deceased mother?

Answered by attorney Edwin George Fee (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Whiteford, Taylor & Preston L.L.P.
As long as you didn't obligate yourself regarding the debts (for example, by signing an agreement with the nursing home to be responsible for payment), then you shouldn't be liable for the debts.

Will my step-brother be entitled to my mother's estate since he has power-of-attorney?

Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Estate Planning lawyer at Pelger Law
No, only if he is an heir of the estate can he inherit from her. You need to consult with a TX probate lawyer.
