Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
division of property among stepsiblings
My family has property in Georgia that was originally my grandfather's and is now divided between my mother and her two sisters. My mother recently put her new husband on the deed to the property. He has not altered his will since becoming married. He has 3 adult children from a previous marriage. He and my mother have two children together. When he dies, will his adult children from the previous marriage receive part of the property, even though they have no ties to the land? His family has property in the Carolinas which I assume his sons wil inherit but I will not, as I am an adult and not his child. It is important to me to keep this land intact and in the family. What legal options do I have to ensure that this property will remain part of my family?

Re: division of property among stepsiblings
You need to consult with a local attorney because your situation is too complex to answer in this type of forum. First, the deed from your mother needs to be reviewed. Second, his will needs to be examined. Third, your mother's wishes need to be discussed. After all, by adding him to the deed she indicated that he have some type of ownership of the property. There are probably more questions that need to be asked after a consultation.
