Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
My father recently passed away. I have been receiving legal notices that his house is in foreclosure to be sold on the court house steps. There is no power of attorney or will of record with Executor appointed. If I provide the death certificate will this escalate the foreclosure or give me some room to work this out?

If the default has been declared and a foreclosure advertised, it is about as escalated as it can get. Call the lender and the law firm handling the foreclosure.
It's escalated already. Since there is no will, you have no authority to negotiate with the lender unless you become the Administrator of the estate. It may or may not be a good idea to do that depending on the finances of the estate, and it would be wise to sit down with a lawyer before doing anything.
