Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

My aunt didn't agree with my grandmother placing the land my grandmother owned into my name before she died. She was of sound mind, according to the lawyer who processed the transfer. Now, I'm trying to get a loan on the house, and my aunt keeps telling the bank's lawyer that she is going to file "tomorrow." Tomorrow, however, never gets here. What can I do to stop her threats to file contestments and move our loan through?

How is it that your aunt knows about your attempts to get a loan on the house? Is your aunt a part owner of the home as well? I'm confused. If you own the house free and clear, then your aunt has no right to interfere with your attempts to do anything with the property, whether it is obtaining a mortgage on the property or selling it altogether. If you would like to resubmit your question with additional facts, you may get a more specific answer.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******

Your post makes absolutely no sense.

If the house is solely in your name, your aunt knows nothing about the loan (unless you are foolishly telling her) and she has no right to even discuss it with a lender or affect you.

So I gather you are leaving a great deal out.

Step one would be meet with a lawyer and give him the full story and not pieces like you did here.
