What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
Alright, first post!
So, my mother submitted a bill to the estate of my deceased grandparents for bills paid and repairs done to my grandparent home while they were still alive. Everything was itemized and receipts were given, and the estate cut her a check for $7000. My mother lives in New mexico and this was going on in Georgia. My aunt ( an evil person) saw fit to sue my mother for that amount to go back to the estate. My mother 2000 miles away knew nothing about this ( I questioned her repeatedly about it). She and my mother have cell phone, email, and contacts from the post office that prove she was never served. None of that was privileged information, anyone who wanted to could have contacted her.
The judge ruled in my aunts favor since there was no defense.
So.... I'm going to go to the courthouse and obtain a transcript of the proceedings and ask who was the process server. I'm assuming that since mom did not get served, it should be pretty easy to get the decision overturned.
Any thought or advice as to how I should proceed from the community is GREATLY appreciated.
