Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
My sister passed away without a will. As her closest living relative, I understand that in Texas I inherit 1/2 of her estate and our nephew, who is the son of our brother who is deceased, inherits the other half.
He is in jail at this time and I need to sell a piece of property from her estate. He has agreed to sign a waiver so that I can be the executor of estate. Is this all I need to sell the property.

The title company handling the sale will almost certainly require 1) some proof that you and your nephew own the property (this could be as simple as affidavits of heirship or they may require an administration (probate court proceeding) and 2) a deed signed by your nephew.
