Loopholes in Georgia’s intestate laws made it possible for a thief to steal an inheritance and home from the relatives of a man who died nearly two years ago.
Now, the family of metro Atlanta man Evans Lee Jr. is calling for the prosecution of a man unrelated to their loved one who laid claim to Lee’s assets shortly after his death.
According to reporting by Atlanta News First, Lee died on Oct. 26, 2022. He left no will. Days later, 48-year-old Randy Watson filed a probate court petition claiming to be the “only son” and “heir” of all property left behind by Lee.
