I think "Probitas super omnibus" is okay without the verb. There are lots of family mottoes like this where for conciseness the verb is left to be understood.

A) Don't trust online translations. Latin is so complex, automatic translations just won't do
B) Don't trust the ones you've been given yet. I would try it myself, but I don't have my dictionary with me. Regardless, I think any latin translation would probably literally mean "[place] honesty above all." Honesty would be probitas, all would be omnes. I suppose place would be pone (pono, ponere, posui, positus)? So I just need to know "above" which I don't know off the top of my head.
Pone probitatem [above] omnes.
is my incomplete guess.

To complete the previous person's answer - Pone probitatem super omnibus.

Yeah, "probitas super omnibus" would probably be the best as a motto.
