- Q. I live in Georgia. My husband passed. The deed to land and house in both names but cars are not. Does spouse get it all?
- A: First let me extend my condolences regarding your loss. You packed a lot into this question and more than be answered in this response. On a high level, in Georgia, if your spouse did not have a will, the estate passes to you and the children (even adult children) with you taking no less than 1/3. You may be able to qualify for year's support and ask for property from the Court out of the estate which would supersede the interest of creditors and the children. Regarding the brother, it may be a problem if the property was never transferred. This would go to adverse possession and would definitely need more digging. In any event I would strongly recommend you make an appointment and speak to an attorney and encourage you to retain.
- Q. Ex-wife died 11 yrs ago, son w/same name different middle, has petitioned to open an estate in probate on the home in
- A: The answer is it depends but most likely not. If the deed has language that includes "joint right of survivorship" then the property passes to you by operation of law. Unfortunately, most deeds do not include this language. If the deed does not have this language then you will need to go through the probate process. In Georgia, when someone dies without a will, it is called intestate. If the person dies with a spouse and children, the property passes to the spouse and children, with the spouse taking no less than 1/3. In this case, if your wife only had the one child, the property will go equally to you and him. You would basically have a 75% interest (your 1/2 interest plus 1/2 of her interest) and he would have a 25% interest. Also, if you dispute him being named as the administrator then you need to timely file a caveat.
- Q. Probation revocation and Ga covid laws
- A: This is not a probate question. It should be posted in the criminal law section.
