Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

My father died intestate in GA in 1994. The home he and my mother shared was in his name alone. She has continued to pay the mortgage but we (their children) did not know that the deed/title etc has not been changed to her name. My Mother used an attorney at the army base who filed a "petition for order declaring no administration necessary", we all had to sign it but we don't know what it means or what we need to do to get my mothers name on the deed.

If a no administration necessary was done properly, the order from the probate court is recorded and transfers title. There is no deed. So it sounds like "we" (meaning you) may be unnecessarily upsetting your mother, who may have done things properly.

To be safe, get the no administration paperwork from the probate court and pay a lawyer for an hour of consultation time to make sure the case was done properly (and to see whose name the court transfered the property to).
