Q: My sister had my mom to put her house in my sister husband name so I don't have a right to my mom house she died with no
A:
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If your sister's husband's name is on the title to your mother's house, it is possible that he may have a legal right to the property.
However, it is important to note that just because your sister's husband's name is on the title does not necessarily mean that he is the sole owner of the property. In Georgia, there are different types of property ownership, such as joint tenancy with right of survivorship and tenancy in common. If your mother and your sister's husband owned the property as tenants in common, then your mother's share of the property would be part of her estate and would pass according to her will or Georgia's laws of intestacy if she did not have a will.
If you believe that your sister or her husband may have acted improperly in transferring the property, you may wish to speak with an attorney who specializes in real estate or estate law. They can review the circumstances surrounding the transfer of the property and advise you on your legal rights and options.
