Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

validity of oral agreement and rights to my father's land
my dad passed away July of 2001. Before that, my father had an oral agreement with one of my aunt to sell his share of the land (4 person co-owned the land) for $1000 to be paid to me. But my dad passed away before any transaction has been done. My mother, married to my father, who legally co-owned the land together with my 3 aunts(father siblings) as said in the land title, does not agree to the oral agreement that my father had with my aunt. Since the land title is under her name with my other 3 aunts, my aunts are forcing her to sign papers waiving her right to the land, harassing her and threatening her and me for a lawsuit. My mom will only sell for the fair market value. What is the validity of oral agreement made by my dad to his sister before he died? Can they force my mom to sign the papers? What are my legal rights and my mom and siblings to the other lands my father co-owned with his sisters since they also deny us those lands. The land is in the Philippines but we all live in California, USA.
