Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Quit claim deed and siblings
I am executor of my dads will. He is
widowed and has excluded children
from a previous marriage. He has
quit claimed land to me at the time
of his death. Can this be contested
by siblings or grandchildren from a
previous marriage? Would it be
wise to quit claim the land now to
avoid any potential legal issues?

Re: Quit claim deed and siblings
It is unclear what you mean by "quitclaimed the land to me at the time of his death". You need to revise your question to explain whether you mean he quitclaimed the land effective on death, or gave you a quitclaim deed before he died, or something else.
Also, have you probated the will?

In addition to the other requested clarification, please clarify what you meant by "wise to quit claim the land now."
