If there is 2 siblings can 1 sibling do anything in an estate without the other?
Not nearly enough information is given. If the "estate" being referred to is the 'estate' of a deceased parent(s) the siblings have only as much authority over the estate as the will of the deceased allows them. They each inherit individually what the will gives them, and if they inherit anything jointly, they cannot do anything with their joint-inheritance without BOTH being in agreement. It sounds like the questioner needs the advice of an attorney.

Grandmother left her house to our deceased parent and her two other children do we inherit the interest of our deceased parent?
Generally, yes. You and siblings would receive your deceased parent's share UNLESS your grandmother's will specified that if any of HER children were deceased then their share would go to THEIR surviving siblings. You should have received notice of the probate proceeding as heirs at law. Title to the house will not pass to the heirs until the estate has been probated. You should call the attorney who is handling the estate to ascertain what your interest may be.
