Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
My dad died in Michigan 4 years were his estate was settled and closed last year. My siblings and I were declared in Michigan to be his legal heirs. He left no will. He had property in other states such as GA that nothing legal was done with. No estates, ancillary or otherwise. The property was still in my Dad\'s name. Now, my sibblings are using quit claim deeds to sell their \"Shares\" to other people and the counties are actually recording them as legal real property transfers.\nIs this legal? Don\'t these properties need to be probated??

The proper way to do this is to have an ancillary administration in Georgia, and an Administrator's Deed to the heirs. The buyers will have a hard time with the title if this is not done.
Contact a real estate attorney in the county where the property is located.
