Removing property before will is probate

What is the name of your state? Georgia

My mothers boyfriend has lived in the house with her for 15 years, but the house is in my mother's name. Well, my mother recently passed away and in her Will she left everything in the house to him, but left the house to me. The will has not been probated, but he is in the process of removing the items. Is it true that he needs to get the will probated and approved before removing the items? I do believe that my sister will contest the Will and I would hate for him to get into any trouble. My mother had the will completed by a lawyer and she was in her right mind. Does Georgia usually follows the wishes of the deceased.What is the name of your state?

Who is the personal representative in the will?

the personal representative is the boyfriend

The boyfriend needs to see an attorney to get direction on proper procedure. You should be there with him because of your interest in this.
