Q: My mom passed away 4 years ago. She didnt have anything but her trailer that she owned but pays lot rent where it is.
Someone else owns the land. I have 3 siblings and 2 of them won't cooperate with probate or does there have to be probate since it isn't worth much and she doesn't have anything else? Is there a way around probate to get rid of the trailer in her name? We live in KY
A: If way around probate, you mean get rid of the trailer and collect some money for it, the answer is probably no. If you mean get rid of the trailer and there is no money to be had, then you should simply ignore the trailer. The lot owner will ultimately foreclose on it and it will be gone. You can attempt to have the title changed in the local tag office period in Georgia, trailers are treated like other vehicles.
