Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Division of real property
My wife and I own a house jointly. She owns (inherited) a 1/2 interest in an apartment and 1 acre of land. Our wills state that if she or I die, we get the other's part in whatever we own. Question- if a divorce happens, am I entitled to 1/2 interest in the apartment and land? Or since she inherited it from her Mom & Dad, after they died, does she get all of that plus 1/2 of the house we own together?

Re: Division of real property
In the event of a divorce, she will probably get one-half of the house plus the property she inherited.
