Apparently you have not interest in the property except possession. The owner can sue you for possession.
The trust was initially setup with 3 siblings but I am the only living siblings.

Usually specific bequests and devises are transferred prior to distributions of residuary estate assets. You will need a TX attorney examine the Will and possibly check out the assets. If Will is not probated, it means nothing. Your present question cannot be answered.

If you've named a guardian in your will for a minor beneficiary, the court typically needs to approve this guardian to ensure they are fit to take on the responsibility. The court's approval process involves verifying the guardian's suitability and may include ongoing oversight to... View More

Hire a CO attorney to draft and record that Deed. Do not use a form. Your mistakes could be catastrophic, and possibly uncorrectable.

You will need to schedule a "mini-closing" where you (or your daughter) will need to deed the property from herself, to herself and your husband, as joint tenants (a technical legal term of ownership). Which particular form of ownership would work best requires a detailed review of your... View More

You definitely have a title problem. Hire a TX attorney to search the title, then draft some replacement deeds and some correction deeds. The consideration clauses should explain what each deed's purpose is, and will also need extensive derivation of title clauses to avoid confusion.

It very much matters whether both names were on the deed. It also matters - moreso - whether this newly created trust was funded. That would mean a deed was signed by the now deceased spouse placing the home into the trust. Even with that, the surviving spouse could elect his or her spousal... View More

Such an executory estate might be drafted, but it would be difficult for the other tenants to enforce. It could also be deemed unenforceable as a restraint against alienation. No competent attorney would draft such a questionable conveyance. There are many other estates to consider which will... View More
We have already assumed mortgage payments but have decided against keeping the house and want to sell. What are the steps?
They have been aware for months and the past few weeks they have constantly cancelled on "cleaning" it. They won't do a permanent fix either.
