Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
My siblings and I was willed some land by our great aunt, she was married and her husband proceeded her in death. He did not will her his share of the estate, therefore when she died she had a will but was only entitled to half of the estate. My great uncle half went to his grand children. My question is can they sell the entire estate without buying us out?

,Possible since a will must be filed within 4 years or property goes to heirs by law..and if there are other heirs..they need to be contacted...etc..and depending on the value..one needs a lawyer..expect minimum fee of $2000 to start..and then u could force a sale..on behalf of her....but contact us or any probate lawyer to settle the matter
