I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a child in a car accident can be a traumatic and devastating experience, and I understand your desire to be involved in the situation.

In terms of your legal rights, it depends on the specific circumstances of the case. If your daughter died... Read more »

In Georgia, you typically file a petition in the county where the ward (your disabled brother) resides. Since your brother has moved to a new county within the state, you should file the subsequent petition in the probate court of the county where your brother currently resides.

If a conservatorship has already been established in one Georgia county and the ward is later moved to another county within the state, it may be necessary to domesticate the conservatorship in the new county.

Under Georgia law, the conservator of a protected person's estate may file a... Read more »

If continuances were granted, then it would be difficult to argue that there is a problem. Motions for continuance can be objected to. Talk to your attorney.

Most wills are upheld against caveats. I'm sure they claim a lot of stuff in their caveat. I always do. A caveat will lead to a trial if the issue is not settled before. No reason this should take longer than a year or so and may be handed much faster. Deciding whether the issue is worth... Read more »

I bet if you let the clerks know your issue beforehand, at worst you and your prospective spouse could meet with the judge privately in his chambers. You might need to bring a witness.

The designation in poas creates a preference for the designated. The issue still needs to go before a judge if a guardian and or conservator is to be appointed.

Another question is why do you need the courts involvement if you already have poas. See an elder law attorney in Georgia.

The best you can do is ask to speak with a bank officer. If that does not work, ask to speak to the legal department. If all of that does not work, you can file suit against the bank and collect attorney's fees.

You probably need to hire a GA attorney to represent you. Otherwise at least go to the Probate Court and read the File verbatim. Ask the Clerk if there are any Hearings scheduled.

The answer is dependent upon how your grandparents held joint title - as tenants in common or as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. If tenants in common, your grandfather's heirs would inherit his 1/2 interest in the property. If the property was held with rights of survivorship,... Read more »

If you and your siblings cannot agree regarding the reimbursement, this will be a question that must be presented to the probate court. You would present your case as a subsequent creditor of the estate for estate debts incurred and seek reimbursement. The documentation you have will be helpful in... Read more »

See an estate lawyer in Georgia for help. Presumably, a court has appointed an executor. If you have a problem with how an executor is handling an estate, the usual first step is to demand an accounting of the estate.

If the will was probated, then it should be in the files of the Probate Court of the County where your grandfather lived when he died. This is a public record, and the Probate Court should provide you with a copy of this for a small charge.

If the estate was never closed, then you can... Read more »

Your husband has predeceased his mother. What happens to husbands' inheritance will be controlled by the specific terms of the will.

Property should be deeded to the current trustee for the revocable trust. Doing this properly (assuming everything else is correct) should avoid the need for probate with respect to the property as the successor trustee will be able to take charge.

If the title of the trailer is in your name, then the trailer is not in the estate. If this happened without your action, then not theft.

You have 30 days from the date of the order to file a notice of appeal on a probate Judge's decision.

A year's support claim can include property tax avoidance for one year. If there are assets that are in decedent's name those can be claimed in a years support. If the surviving spouse already has title to all the assets, then years support will not be of use.

Only if they are lawful heirs. Lawful heirs are those who would inherit if there was no will at all.
