What is the name of your state (only U.S. law) ? Georgia
My mother recently passed away. I was left as beneficiary of her life ins. policy. She lived in an apt. on my property and there were only two cars in her name. She had nothing else of value and the kids (3) are not fighting over anything but she does have a boat load of medical bills from the cancer. Do I have to file anything legally in probate or can I skip it and just file the life insurance? We would rather keep the life ins. vs. the cars.
Thanks.
