If the land was in your parent's names, you will have to go through probate to be able to transfer or sell the land to anyone. Your brother and sister cannot sign it over to you until it is in their names (i.e., after the probate process, assuming they even get the land). Let me know if I am not totally understanding your question. Hope this helps.
