Signing to close escrow

[mikialr]

There are five heirs, and we have gotten a judgement from the court in Houston to sell two properties in Houston against one uncooperative heir involement and have a qualified buyer to sell to, the question is why would a title company request all five heirs to sign off on the deed, and re include an uncooperative heir, plus after five years of waiting to give her the opportunity to buy everyone out, and she cannot. She is not signing to sell why would her signature be needed?

I don't know why her signature is required, if you went to court and obtained the proper order.
If a recalcitrant person won't sign, produce the court order, or go back to court and inform the judge.
As far as I know, the court order shoudl suffice, but if more is needed, another court order can avoid her signature, or require her to sign.
You simply need to request the court in Harris County to partition the properties, meaning the court orders them to be sold, and the profits split.

Ask the title company why. Perhaps they're not clear about the judgment you already have.
