Why do you as the wife of one of three siblings selling their late parents house have to also sign the deed over to the new owners?
At common law, a wife had a right to a life estate in one-third of her husband's estate upon his death. That right is called dower. It evolved during the time when only men could own property. A wife could not be deprived of that right by any transfers made by her husband during his life unless she signed the deed to release her dower rights. Most states have abolished dower rights. Some states that have retained the concept of dower have expanded it to include a life estate in any and all land owned by the husband.
