A: Your unfortunate situation was caused by your erroneous belief that non-lawyers can do very important things that involve their property rights without benefit of counsel. So now, rather than hire a real estate lawyer to help you avoid the errors before you made them, you will have to hire a civil trial lawyer to keep you from being evicted--by your own children. If you and your brother are sitting on lots of cash, then hire a lawyer TODAY. However, if you and your disabled brother are poor enough, you may qualify for free legal aid. Call the Georgia Bar Association and ask them to refer you to some local legal aid organization.
