Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

probate of a will

My uncle recently died just a few

months after his wife (my dad's

sister) died. In the process of

probating and executing my uncle's

will, his executor has called me to

seek my assistance in moving funds

from a certain money market

account that was still in my aunt's

name at the time of my uncle's

death. (They had no children, and I

would have been the executor of my

aunt's estate if my uncle had died

first.) What will happen to the funds

in this account if I refuse to help

them?

I have several concerns here. There

were last minute changes to my

uncle's will that would have horrified

my aunt. What are my options?

What type attorney do I need to see

to find out if this money is under my

control or the control of my uncle's

executor?
