The fact that you have been paying the Property Taxes has nothing whatsoever to do with who inherits. If the probate has been completed, the court would have ordered transfer of the title. A recording fee of a few dollars is all that is required for the transfer once the probate is concluded.
Other than just stating in the Will that one person inherits the entire estate, certain other specific statements would have had to be in the Will for the person who died (the Testator) to disinherit his or her other children. The decedent cannot just fail to name them.
I hope you are using an experienced Arkansas probate attorney.
