Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Re: Childs right of deceased parents share of estate.

If your mother had no will, you may have some rights now. If her will left everything to your father, you have no rights during his lifetime.

Your rights at his death are governed by his will, if he has one at that time. If you have reason to believe that he was not competent to make his will, or that your stepmother exercised duress or undue influence, you have the right to challenge it, but consult an attorney first.

If he has no will, you have a right to a share of his property, except to the extent he and his new wife own property jointly with right of survivorship (she gets that, plus a share of the rest).

Re: Childs right of deceased parents share of estate.

If the property was title in your parents' names as "joint tenants with rights of survivorship, you have no interest; the property automatically goes to your dad. If, not, and if she left a will, that will control. If neither of the above is the case, you do have an interest in the property. Consult with a local attorney.
