Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
I'm executor to my mother's estate. She never had the mortage transferred into her name after my dad died. The deed/tax office has it in her name. Will I have any problems selling the property?

The mortgage is going to need to be paid off at closing and you may hit a few bumps getting information from the lender, but it shouldn't prevent sale. My concern is that you are asking here. No one should ever be executor without a lawyer. The failure to do all the right steps in the exact order needed can prevent a sale, so the question you didn't ask (is it time to sit down with a lawyer?) is important. Often the cost is minimal as you can do the legwork and only pay for advice.
