Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
My mother left her house to three children. One has left the state and has no interest in the house. He has not legally signed it over to the other two. What recourse do we have?

You have 2 choices -- you can either: (i) have the 3rd child who left the state sign over his rights to the house; or (ii) you can go to Court and ask that the court "partition" the property. This would mean that the Court would order the sale of the property and then each child would get his respective share of the proceeds of the sale.
Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
Unless the one child signs a deed the only option - and it requires a lawyer, appraisers and some expense - is a partition case in Superior Court.
