Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Rights as Administraot of Will
I have a question about time limits on claiming inheritance.
My wife was named as administrator for her father and mothers will. In the will it did not specify who the assets go to but an agreement between her and her sister was verbal that each would get half. The will has been probated and letters of administration were issued and a bill of sale to half the stock owned completed.
My wife was granted administrator rights by her sister but now her sister wants to get more than she entitled too which has the estate tied up but not with a court ruling.
My question is can my wife claim her part of the stock even though she has voluntarily stopped doing bills for the estate?

It is impossible to give you a reliable answer without reviewing all the pertinent documents. You should seek a consultation with a local attorney for this purpose.
Re: Rights as Administraot of Will
I think you need to take a copy of the document to an attorney for review. You indicate that the two decedents had a single will. That would be highly unusual. You also indicate that the will did not say to whom the property was to go. That would be extremely unusual. You need to have someone review that document for you. State law may say where the property goes, and in what proportion.
