Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

Three way delima

Mother died leaving 2 adult children. Oldest - daughter, Next - son, last -daughter. Younger daughter is on checking account with mother. Son wants to settle estate. Older sister agrees but younger wants to leave her share to her only child. She refuses to sign. Both sisters have home and son does not. Afraid that if forced, younger sister will demand cash instead of sharing property. Any suggestions?
