Chattanooga, TN asked in Estate Planning and Probate for Alabama

Q: How to sue a county in Alabama?

After my father died his siblings went to the courthouse and was allowed to sign an affidavit stating that they were his only living survivors and gave them ownership of land and property without further investigating if that was true. My mother (his wife) and I. (Daughter)was forced to move from our home and recently discovered all of this took place. We went to the courthouse to have them correct this matter and was told we needed a lawyer. I have all documentation to support our claim but need help with this matter.
