What is the name of your state? Georgia.
My husband's mother passed away, no husband, has 2 sons. She supposedly left a will, but living in TX, we are not sure. My husband's brother lives in GA and is executor of the estate. He is angry about being the one to take care of mom, and will not probate the will. My husband won't pursue it, which is his choice of course. I am curious tho - if brother-in-law doesn't bring the will to probate - been 2 years so far - does anything ever happen automatically? Is there a time limit for it to be done, or anything? Brother-in-law works, and as far as we know isn't squandering her estate, but just won't have the will administered. Any thoughts on this? Again, my husband will not pursue this as he doesn't want to create problems with his brother. I am wondering if anything will ever happen, due to a time limit or something?
