QUESTION

Who gets what in Mom's will?

Asked on Dec 23rd, 2013 on Wills and Probate - Georgia
More details to this question:
My Mom and her husband of 33 years built a home during their time together. Later, he died and left everything to her. Her will stated that all of her Jewelry, clothes, antique furniture went to me. I was told that since she remarried 7 years ago that the old will is no longer any good. I was also told that the house now goes half to her new husband and half goes to me. He says that he thought it all went to him. Can you please help me?

Dont call me but call a local GA lawyer. Mom's will determines who inherits from her. If she has no will when she dies, state law determines who inherits from her. I dont know GA law, but you and her new spouse would inherit under the PA statute. Also, a new will overrides a prior will.
