Q: My neighbor died and we loved him like a father. He left me the mobile home and all its contents. The kids are going in.
Are they allowed to go and take things out the trailer and just take it? One of the sons was left 1 dollar because the father and him did not get along. Is this legal? This son didnt have anything to do with his father at all for a long time. Now he is just carying anything and everything out the trailer.
A:
Before ANYONE has the right to do anything with his property, probate needs to be started. Seek local legal help to begin that process, as it is different in each state. Don't delay, because once things are gone, they're gone, and your neighbors wishes will be thwarted even if he COULD do what he wanted and did it properly under GA law. Seek local legal help ASAP.
