Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was stilistisch am besten ist. Bei dem dritten Vorschlag müsste ich die Reihenfolge der Namen auf dem Erbschein vertauschen. Kann man das machen oder ist es besser, die Reihenfolge der Naen beizubehalten und den Passiv zu verwenden? Danke für jede Hilfe.

The sole heir(s) to his/her estate is/are ...
I'm a bit mystified by the combination of 'sole heir' (singular) in two of your versions and 'list of names' (plural).
The above formulation should work for any Erbschein, allowing strike-out as necessary.
Re 'she is the sole heir to her estate': she? her?

: An "heir" might be just apparent, designated, etc., whereas "beerbt" implies that inheritance HAS taken place. I would therefore use a phrase that leaves no room for ambiguity: "X has inherited as sole heir the estate of Y".
