Re: Deed for house
Yes, she can do it, but it would violate her fiduciary obligations. As I understand it, the siblings inherit everything (I have assumed that there are no children of the decedent). A remedy is available in the Surrogate's Court if she conveys the real estate to herself individually, and you may want to talk to a clerk in the Administrationc Department.
