When I go to a probate attorney, can we have 2 persons on the deed to sell property?

The personal representative of the estate has to sign the deed. Whether there is 1 or 2 personal representatives will depend on who was appointed in the will if there was a will or who the court appoints otherwise.

Does my wife have any rights to the house that my father left me in his will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
It depends on exactly how your father's will purports to do this. If your father's will creates a trust for the house, it may be possible to amend that trust through judicial action; not likely. If your father's will simply requires the PR to make a deed to the two grand kids, with a life estate for you, then your wife's only protection will be in the "good" child. It's a bad situation, but be sure you take a step back modifying Dad's plan now that he has died will require a lot of custom legal work. Separate from the emotions of the situation and take a look at the bottom line: is your wife better off hiring lawyers to maybe win the right to stay in that house, or is she better off making plans now to find a new place to live after you're gone. Your estate plan could leave all to her so she have resources to find a new place.

What I can do in order to get her to give me the deed so I can get insurance and proceed with my life?

Your situation is not entirely clear. Is your property titled in the trust or not? If not, then probate WILL be necessary. A PR is only appointed in a probate proceeding, so unless an estate has been opened, there is no PR. At most, your sister is nominated to be the PR. She has no authority to execute a deed, if that is your situation. If probate is needed and she refuses to act, you can always open an estate yourself, and request that you be appointed PR. If the property is titled in the trust, then you do not need a PR. The trustee would have authority to sign a deed to you. If the trustee fails to do so, then you can again go to the probate court, this time to petition for supervision of the trust or removal of the trustee and a surcharge for breach of fiduciary duties. Since it is unclear what your facts are, it may be wise to retain an attorney to review the situation with you.
