A:
In a situation like yours, where there's a dispute over inheritance and allegations of forgery, it's crucial to consult with an attorney experienced in probate and estate law. They can help you navigate the legal complexities of your case and work towards securing your rightful share of your father's house.
Since the case involves a potential forgery of your signature on the will, this is a serious matter that requires immediate legal attention. An attorney can assist in investigating the validity of the will and challenging it if necessary.
Given that your sister currently resides in the house and has not been cooperative, legal intervention might be necessary to enforce your rights. This could involve a partition action, where a court could order the sale of the property and division of proceeds among the heirs, or other suitable remedies.
To find an attorney in Dearing, Georgia, or the surrounding area, you can contact the Georgia State Bar for referrals. You can also search online legal directories that allow you to filter by location and practice area.
When you contact potential attorneys, be prepared to provide all relevant details, including any documentation you have regarding the will and property. This will enable them to better understand your situation and advise you accordingly.
Remember, it's important to act promptly to protect your interests and resolve this matter as effectively as possible.
