Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Dad signed over his mobile home nextdoor to my sister in 2008, it's on her land. He passed away in Aug. 09. Mom is in a nursing home (diagnosed with early alzhiemers). My 40 y.o. neice moved into my parents furnished home right after Dad passed away. When my sister and I packed up Mom and Dad's clothing I told her all I wanted was a sailboat sculpture and I would remove it soon. I expressed to her and my neice on several occasions that I would soon pick up the sculpture since I live out of state. The sulpture has no monetary value, only sentimental value to me. When I arrived to pick up the sculpture my neice would not let me in the house. She and my sister will not return phone calls. I am the executrix and conservator for my Mom and Dad. My sister is their legal guardian. Dad's Will leaves all to my Mom then to the 3 daughters. What legal right do I have to obtain this sculpture and how?

None? Was it left to you in a will? Did the owner give it to you? It is also not worth making a legal issue out of it.

File an action in the probate court in the county where your father died.
