Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
Stepmother's rights on estate
My father passed away 2 days before he was to sign his will at the attorneys office, or at least that is what my stepmother told us, so apparently he has no signed will. If this is true what legal rights do we have on the estate and if this information is a lie how would we find out if he really did have a will?

Re: Stepmother's rights on estate
If he died without a will the widow shares equally with his children, except that her share will be at least one-third. I would check with the attorney about the existence of the will. Other than that, I don't know how you would find a will or any other piece of paper.
Re: Stepmother's rights on estate
Other than the suggestions that you already received, it might be possible to depose individuals who are in a position to perhaps know of a will. Please do not hesitate to contact my firm in the event that you want to talk about employing an attorney to represent you.
