My mother-in passed last week. My husband is in the will as getting half the house.
The sister however, already had a warranty deed drawn up, and the whole house is in the sisters name already.
She wants to sell it, and is afraid he may come back on her for his half, since the mom did not have the will changed at the time the warranty deed to daughter was done.
He will sign a quit deed for his half (just because she cared for their mother the 4 years before her passing).
Does she also need anything signed off from me (the wife)? Is he liable for any taxes when she sells it, since he is listed as owning half in the will at the time of her passing, even though the house is in the sisters name already? Texas law will aply on your answers. Thanks

Hi blondiiis!

Welcome to forums!

If the house is in the sister's name, then your husband won't be liable for paying any taxes when the property is sold off. if you're living in a community property state, then you may have sign certain documents in order to transfer the property to the sister. Your best option will be to contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion regarding this property transfer.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

In my opinion (and it's only mine), if there was a will, it ought to override any other transactions. You'll need to discuss this with a lawyer right away.
