This is a criminal law question and not enough information provided.
I'm an executor for a Will in DeKalb County Georgia, for my late sister.

The title was... View More

This is something that happens often. If she did not own the asset at the time of her death then you do not need to account for it.

As the other two attorneys have pointed out, yes, a person can choose to leave their assets to one person over another; however, the only way to ensure this happens is to make sure they have the proper estate planning documents in place. If they do not have a will or a trust leaving the property to... View More

My condolences on your loss. Under GA law, if a person dies without a will, the assets pass equally to the spouse and children with the spouse taking no less than 1/3. You can apply to be named as administrator over the estate. If your stepmother has been named as administrator, you are still... View More

This is not a probate question. You need to post this in the criminal law section. In short, it depends. Your probation officer may choose to file a revocation. You should post this question in the criminal law section for a more thorough response.
I filed a petition for removal of administrator of an estate. When the court date was set. The court sent notice to the wrong address. The petition specified that notice should be sent to my P. O. Box, but it was sent to the listed street address. Though all other notices(i.e. medidiation,... View More

I would recommend that you contact the court regarding this issue immediately. Most likely, you will have to file a Motion to set aside the Order of the Court. If you bring it to the court's attention, they may vacate the order.

The answer it depends. If you consent to the proposed executor being named as the executor then you can sign the acknowledgment of service and have no objection to the probate of the will, then you can sign the acknowledgment. You make sure you have reviewed the will and do not see any problems... View More

You can file a Motion to require that she file the will if you are certain that he had a will. If a will has not been filed and you are not certain he had a will then you can file to be named as administrator over the estate.

It seems very broad just states everything he has is to be equally divided between the 5 of us. Well I... View More

I would first like to express my sympathy for the loss of your father. It seems that your grief has been compounded by the turmoil in the family. When a will has language like "everything equally between my children" it is rather broad in the language but does not necessarily mean that... View More

In order to properly answer this question, a little more information is needed. I am not clear on what you are considering "heir" property. In any event, a person can only leave what they have so even if the person is staying in the property that does not necessarily give them title to... View More
I was in a situation where i was previously living and i needed to move. So it seemed like we could both help each other.

This can be considered a difficult and loaded question without the benefit of looking at the language in the trust. As a general answer, I will say that this is possible. It is called decanting. If you are concerned about the trustee you may reach out to the trustee or consult with an attorney... View More

If you do not file the answer within the seven (7) days the landlord can get an writ against you... View More
