Will & Probate Services

A will establishes how you wish your assets and property to be distributed after you are gone. Once the probate court verifies the validity of your will, it can be executed. Without a will, your estate will be distributed according to Georgia laws of intestate.

• Creating a will according to Georgia legal requirements which shall take effect upon death
• Creating a living will, which is one that takes effect while you are alive should you be unable physically or mentally to make your own health care decisions
• Creating an advanced care directive, providing instructions and expressing your preferences as to medical treatments, life support, artificial respiration, feeding tubes, and more should you be unable to communicate these while alive
• Creating Powers of Attorney for Medical Care, in which you name someone as your representative should you be unable to communicate your decisions concerning health care
• Creating General Powers of Attorney, in which you name someone to act on your behalf in managing your financial affairs while you are alive
• Managing all matters concerning probate of estates and wills in probate court, which is the legal process whereby the debts and assets of the deceased are handled. Assets may be distributed according to a will or through Georgia laws for those who die intestate.
