Re: my fathers will
If the will was properly probated in Georgia and the will specified that certain personal property items were to go to certain people, you may have a cause of action in the probate court in the county where the decedent was a resident. Normally a beneficiary has 10 years to enforce a will. However, it can be difficult to retrieve personal property items.
