They said the payment must be made unless the land can be put in my husband's name. Then a new loan can be made. The bank had to call our attorney. He never called them like he said he would. I'm asking on here, because we don't seem to be getting anywhere with our attorney. I'm just...

BUMP! Please someone answer!

Update: We hired an attorney. He filed a caveat with 6 points. He postponed the date of the hearing the Fri before the Mon it was scheduled for. No word to us. We found out by accident. Apparently he had a conflict. Now the note $155,000 on the 65 acres (left to my husband) is 30 days over...

I am no legal expert, but my husband is in the fight of his life to keep his family farm. The land has been in his family for 100's of years, and the step-mother has filed a Year's Support, which takes precedence over the will. It is a PERMANENT reward of property to the spouse. Your farm can...

Thanks for the advice! REALLY!! THANK YOU!!

Thanks again. And we do have one now. I think the general public would be flabergasted to know that a will isn't the final word. Kind of sad really. You go to that trouble and expense to leave your things the way you want them, and then a spouse can renounce the will, which is leaving her...

This question was answered in the wills and estates section.

Thank you so much for your answer! The farm was my father-in-law's property 20 years prior to their marriage. Does that make a difference?

I've posted Question 2 in the ethics section, but would still like an answer to Question 1.

He wasn't hired by either of them. He read the will to them, because he wrote it. He knew they disagreed on what it said. When my husband suggested he get his own lawyer, this one said let's try to work this out. He told him to write down what he would propose. He also told my husband on the...

If an attorney wrote a will, read the will to the co-executors, advised them on how to proceed with probate, advised them on how to handle disagreements between them, and then suddenly advised one co-executor to file a year's support to request all of the property left in the will to the other...

Just received certified mail from GA probate court. The step-mother filed the year's support and asked for EVERYTHING. All 77 acres (the 12 he left her and the 65 he left his son); all farm trucks (left to the son); all firearms (left to the son); all tools; everything. Question: Does this...

She won't release the 20%. At the time my father-in-law died, the pecans were on the ground. The attorney who wrote the will and read it to both of them, told my husband that the harvest was his, since he has to make the annual mortgage payment in the spring. So my husband and boys worked...

Here's the GA law. My question is below it. O.C.G.A. § 53-5-4. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Entitlement of surviving spouse and minor children to year's support for subsequent years When an estate is to be kept together for more than 12 months, the surviving spouse and minor children of the...

Can someone please help with this? THANKS!
