Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Probate of fathers will
My father recently passed . I'm Exceutor to his will.
My mother and step-sister passed several years earlier leaving my dad and myslef.
My sister had two children and I have one son.
Several days after my father passed I contacted his attorney, asked him if he would handle the probabte stuff, since he wrote the will and send me the bill.
When the probate papers were drawn up the attorney failed to list my mother, sister and my sisters two children and my son.
The case went through probate and now my step-sisters children have obtained a lawyer and are suing to have the probate overturned and asking that I be excusssed as the excutor to my fathers will and name one of them as the excutor.
My dad and mom were poor people, who had no savings ectera and the only thing they had any money invested was the equity is in their house. Of which they still owe over $70,000.00
The lawyer for my niece and nephew want the house and all of the belongings within it. Can they?d
During the past five years my mom and dad's health rapidliy declined I sold my home, moved in to care of them. My sister or no one else would.
Is it legal to charge the estate for the past 5 years, which ulimatley casued me to loose my job of 12 + yrs?

You should submit your questions to your lawyer. He knows far more about your case than you have set out to this forum,
Re: Probate of fathers will
These are questions only your lawyer can answer, as he is familiar with the case. I am not sure why you're asking here when you are paying him for advice. Without us having the will, all the facts and all the pleadings, no one here can begin to even guess at answers.
