Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Will and Homeowners Deed
My mom left a will to have one of my brothers and sisters have her share of her home. My oldest brother is listed on the deed. What is the best way to accomplish having my brother and sister added to the Warranty Deed for mom's home.

If the property was deeded in its entirety to brother before date of death, it is not part of her estate. It's gone.

If your brother and your mother were both on the deed, you need to probate your mother's estate.
