Aunt passed and left home, no will. Three siblings still alive, two want to keep the property, one does not, what can they do?

Unfortunately no, the property is likely not divisible so if the disagreeable sister pushes the issue and hires an attorney that knows what they are doing she could file suit to partition or sell the property. The best chance is to see if your father can buy out the other sister.

What percent of the appraisal price can I sell a home in probate in Texas?
