Rosharon, TX Estate Planning Law Firms & Lawyers

In Texas people can leave their things to whomever they wish.  You might consider contesting the Will if you have evidence tending to prove fraud, lack of legal capacity or undue influence.  Your description indicates none of these.  The last two can be very difficult to prove.  A Will contest can cost as much or more than you might inherit with no guaranty that you will win.

If the stroke affected the mental capacity, such that she can't sign, she cannot execute a power of attorney. You'll need to file for a guardianship. If she still have full mental acuity, but cannot use her hands, you can still get a power of attorney executed.

If one owner out of six refuses to sign, any of the others can sue for "partition," which is an action to divide the property. It probably can't be divided up six ways, so the court would order it sold. If we are talking about heirs, this would mean that six people are entitled to a share of the owner's estate. The owner's personal representative can sell the house, and does not need the approval of the heirs (although an heir could object that the sale was not for sufficient value, or was defective in some other way).
