Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Selling a home

My aunt (lives in Fl) has POA for my mother who is in a nursing home locally. Recently, on a recent visit to Texas, my aunt had my mother draw up a will, stipulating her home would be sold upon her death. I currently currently live in the home and have for 3 years. How much of a problem will selling be with my aunt living out of state.
