A: I am not an attorney in GA but more info is needed to answer this question. State law governs the estate of a deceased person. The type of information needed to answer this question would be, was there a will/trust left behind, what does the will/trust say, and who are all the heirs and interested persons in the situation. The statute would then govern who has rights to your fathers property.
