Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Can an attorney charged with administering an estate allow his own son permission to hunt the property? I have an issue where the estates property is landlocked behind my property and the property of one other individual. The land has been landlocked long before I purchased my parcel and I obtained a legal deeded easement through the nearest property to access my parcel. Since this is the only access point, the attorney sent me a letter requesting my permission to enter the property. Myself and the other property owner granted access to the property only for purposes of real estate and marketing. We were clear with the attorney about our concerns.
The attorney agreed via phone, but we later found out his son was accessing the property and bringing his friends hunting. His son turned out to be very disrespectful and confrontational. I have thought about writing a letter to the probabte court that appointed the attorney to administer the estate and express my concerns.

Easements have to be in writing, so the one thing that would determine the answer is the one thing we have not read - the letter.
You don't "express concerns" to a court via letter. That is inappropriate and can get you in trouble. You retain counsel and file an appropriate motion or case in an appropriate court (an attorney may do a letter or other steps first).
