You can file a Motion to Terminate Probation. I would recommend talking to a lawyer to better evaluate your chances for early termination.

Only if your mother did not own property in Florida xan you open an estate in Georgia.
My father made a will 1 year before he died. The will is going to one of his friends. He mentioned mY brother on the will as a listed child; however, he didn’t mention me at all! Does it worth it to object on this will?
answered on Sep 6, 2020
You will need to ask an attorney from the state where your father was living when he died. In Georgia, the only way for an omitted child to get back in a will is if the child can prove the parent thought the child was dead.
and my brother. However, my brother also died intestate and had no kids, and died months before my father. Would the amount of money left to my brother be given to me, or my mother since she is still living? My mother has been divorced from my father since 2002. We live in Georgia.

If you are listed as beneficiary, then you are entitled to your share of the accounts on which you are a beneficiary. Whether the listing of your brother as a beneficiary and he died before your means his heirs get the money or you get the money depends on the wording of the beneficiary statement.... View More

You probate a will only in the county where the deceased lived. Once you probate the will, the executor then transfers the real estate wherever it is in Georgia to the designated beneficiaries. Until that is done, the executor still has work to do.
Is the new tractor part of the will even though it was bought after the Will was made? The older tractor was sold many years ago. The will just says tractor and has no identification number or make and model.

If the will says, " X gets my tractor. ", then X gets tractors owned by grandfather at his death. It doesn't matter when the tractor(s) were acquired.

The answer is it depends but most likely not. If the deed has language that includes "joint right of survivorship" then the property passes to you by operation of law. Unfortunately, most deeds do not include this language. If the deed does not have this language then you will need to... View More

Many factors need to be taken into consideration. Your best bet is to consult with an experienced estate planning or... View More
Only name on deed of trust is hers. No husband, just three heirs.
answered on Jul 13, 2020
You mention Deed of Trust. Is the title in her name alone or in the name of her as Trustee? If the house is in her name alone, you will need to file for probate in the county where she lived. If the house is on the name of a trust, you need to see what the trust says do.
I need help looking at Mama's account and taxes. There is probably just the house and some shares in some family stock. Hopefully I will be able to use phone conferences.
