My father passed away seven years ago. Everything went to his surviving spouse( my stepmother) and she is now wanting to sell the house. There was no will and the house was bought in Georgia in 1979. A realtor contacted me about signing paperwork to sign the deed over to my stepmother and she required the signatures of myself and my brother for her to sell the house because it was bought in 1979 and there was no will. If my brother and I don't sign over the deed (as we were his oldest children whom he left in the divorce) what will happen. Will she still be able to sell the house and if so would we be required to sit down with her in probate court. There are no debts from my father that will have to be paid. JUst not sure what happens if we don't sign.
