In Georgia, the probate process typically takes *-24 months. However, complex estates can take longer. Can you tell me more about the complexity of your father's estate?
we signed papers July *, *, my sister has 60 days to buy it or it has to be sold. Is the 60 days from that date or when the judge signed on August *?
The *-day period typically starts from the date the judge signed the order, which is August * in your case. However, you should confirm this with your attorney or the court.
thank you
