These are among the most common situations our probate clients bring to us. If you recognize yours here, we should talk.
We review the deceased person's assets, debts, existing will, and family situation to determine the right probate approach — whether formal probate, informal administration, or a small estate procedure under Georgia law.
Probate must be filed in the county of the decedent's domicile. We prepare and file petitions in Hall County, Gwinnett County, Jackson County, or Barrow County Probate Courts, depending on where your loved one resided.
Georgia law requires proper notice to creditors by publication. We manage the legal notice requirements and evaluate creditor claims, advising on which to pay, contest, or negotiate during the claims period.
The estate's assets must be inventoried and valued. We coordinate with appraisers and financial institutions to compile a complete estate inventory that meets Georgia Probate Court requirements.
After debts and taxes are resolved, we prepare the final accounting for court approval and oversee the distribution of assets to beneficiaries, ensuring each step is documented and properly discharged.
Within probate, we handle each of the following matters in depth. Select a specific service area for detailed information about how we approach it in Georgia.
