Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My parents owned a real 1-acre property as Community Property. They passed away and left a Will giving the property to us their 7 children. The oldest of us siblings was named in the Will as Executor, authorized to sell, with or without notice, property conveyed in the Will. The problem is that the Executor thought he filled the property deed as Joint Tenancy. How can the Executor file the property deed as Joint Tenancy? Last year (2014) a sibling passed away. Now the county tax assessor told as remaining siblings that the 1/7 property interest of the deceased sibling must be reassessed and, further, that the deceased's step-daughter is trying to claim an interest in the property, because the wife of the deceased also passed away.
