What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
My father passed away 11/17/03. He had 10 kids (including myself). We have been letting my sister live in his house ever since his death. We have not probated his will, because he had one made like 20 years ago and he had a stroke and it "messed with his mind" so he didn't understand the value to keep up with it. Now, here we are coming up on 5 years and I would like to know: After a certain amount of time does the land/house become hers by law, will it always be ours "the kids" or what happens to his estate and what actions do we need to take to keep the land all of ours instead of just hers. We live in GA so, if you have any ideas please let me know! Thanks!
* I am the one who took him 20 or so years ago, but I didn't get a copy. So, I know he had a will made and we know what law firm did it, but we know that the will is no where to be found. No sister/ or brother knows where it is... it isn't in his house- more or likely he threw it away/ burnt it...etc. We have no original or copy of his will. *
