Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
My mother passed away a little over 2 yrs ago and I am the executor of her estate. I had her will probated and all my siblings signed that they agreed with the will. My brother was left a portion of her land that he had a house on. He abandoned the house which is unlivable and moved in with my mom before she passed. I let one of my sisters move into my moms house and she asked my brother to help pay bills or move out. he moved out and is now taking me to court for not allowing him to live on the property, which is not the case. he has his section of the land that he can do whatever he wants with but wants the main house. I received a summons to go to court next week. Do I need to contact a local lawyer or is this something I can do on my own? Thanks

You were supposed to have gotten a lawyer two years ago. You can be personally liable for damages for missteps as executor, so your delay may be a very expensive mistake. You are in a legal emergency and need a lawyer for court.
I agree. Never think this is something you can handle on your own. Get a lawyer.
