Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
My father passed away and did not leave a will. There are two cars that is in his name? How do I transfer the titles to my name? My mother doesn't want the two cars.

Call your local tag office. They can tell you the steps.
Your local tag office will have a form that probably will work for you.
If your father died intestate, the spouse is entitled to 50% of the estate and the children are entitled to 50% of the estate. You must probate your father's estate to pay creditors, transfer relevant titles, etc.
If the estate is simple, you don't need an attorney. Many county's have probate packets to assist pro se individuals.
I've also provided a probate link for tips and forms provided by the Judicial Branch of Georgia.
