I am so sorry for your loss. So if your Aunt died without a Will that is called dying "Intestate" and the intestacy laws in Georgia will apply. More information about who related to your Aunt and Uncle are alive in order to help guide you. For example, if they had siblings then the siblings would have a right to inherit the property. I am going to give you a link to the intestacy statute here but I think that you need to speak with a lawyer in your area. Someone has to be appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to transfer the property via executor's deed. That could be you but you need to know what you ar getting in to. Good luck.
