Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Why do I have to fill out a inventory for my husbands will if he left everything to me.The children signed off and are adults.The only thing that might be in his name alone is a twelve year old car. Everything else was in both our names and paid to the other upon death.

It depends on how his lawyer drafted the will. WIth a proper will, that would be unnecessary.
