Probate Cases
The process for a probate case depends on the type of case and what stage we are taking the case in. However, we will always start by sending you an electronic intake form and scheduling a 30-minute consultation.
What is probate?
If a person passes away in Georgia with assets that cannot legally be given to another person without a Judge's permission, their estate must be probated. Probate may also be necessary if someone dies with debt, or if there are other post-death issues or conflicts relating to property that require a court to resolve it. Probate in Georgia can take 6 months to 2 years or more.
We represent loved ones involved in probating an estate in Counties within an hour of Atlanta. We handle cases with wills (testate), and without wills (intestate). Additionally, we handle contested cases (cases where there is drama and/or people fighting over assets) on a limited basis.
We also provide two levels of probate support:
Probate Case Support — We provide support and advice on your case, but do not represent you.
Probate Representation — We provide full representation in Court through the final order.
All probate cases are retainer-based and must be paid in full. We are pleased to offer legal fee financing through Affirm/PayLater.
