No. The answer depends on the facts you chose not to provide. You don't even tell us who owns the property to begin with.

Not automatically. It depends on a variety of factors. I STRONGLY recommend consulting a Georgia attorney, who can review the DEED to your property and properly advise you of the wife's rights to the home.

Maybe and maybe not. The answer depends on the information you chose not to give us.

Was there a joint tenant's deed or not?

Were there minor children, or adult children?

Is there a mortgage?

Was there a will?

You should see a lawyer with that information.
