Montezuma, GA Estate Planning Law Firms & Lawyers

You need the administrator of the estates (who may be you- it's not clear from your post) to write a deed transferring the property from your parents' estates to you. It is often called an Administrator's Deed. That deed gets recorded with the Superior Court of the county where the property is located. The deed should not be executed or recorded before the estate administration has been fully completed otherwise- in other words, all of the creditors have to have been properly notified and outstanding debts paid in full, and the distribution must be made properly. Yes, you should have an attorney help you with all of that, including the deed. Find a good probate attorney and have them help you finish up the process.   Best wishes to you and please accept my condolences on the loss of your parents.

You don't have any options. Your father has them. There are ways to help protect an estate plan against the possible results of a challenge and thereby better ensure that the desired beneficiary receives the intended assets. These could include your father creating a revocable trust and transferring the property to the Trustee of the trust before he dies, which could help avoid delay caused by a potential Will contest, giving you the property now or selling it to you (if doing so won't create problems for your father), or adding you as a joint owner now. But he should not take any steps without the help of an experienced estate planning attorney, and, since he is the owner of the property, HE has to be the one to take any such steps. You can't control the property right now, and there's nothing you can do to protect your expected inheritance except to try to ensure your father understands the potential value of doing good, solid, estate planning.
