Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

Quit claim deed and siblings

I am executor of my dads will. He is

widowed and has excluded children

from a previous marriage. He has

quit claimed land to me at the time

of his death. Can this be contested

by siblings or grandchildren from a

previous marriage? Would it be

wise to quit claim the land now to

avoid any potential legal issues?

Re: Quit claim deed and siblings

It is unclear what you mean by "quitclaimed the land to me at the time of his death". You need to revise your question to explain whether you mean he quitclaimed the land effective on death, or gave you a quitclaim deed before he died, or something else.

Also, have you probated the will?
