Frequently Asked Questions
What is probate and how long does it take?
Probate is the legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate. In Georgia, the timeline varies depending on the complexity of the estate, but a straightforward probate can take six months to a year. Complex estates may take longer. Our team works to streamline the process as much as possible.
Do I need an attorney for estate planning?
While not legally required, working with an experienced estate planning attorney helps ensure your documents are valid, comprehensive, and tailored to Georgia law. Mistakes in estate plans can lead to costly disputes and unintended consequences for your loved ones.
What is the difference between a will and a trust?
A will takes effect after death and must go through probate. A trust can take effect during your lifetime, avoids probate, and offers greater privacy and control over how your assets are distributed. Many people benefit from having both.
How much does a consultation cost?
We offer initial consultations to discuss your legal needs and determine how we can help. Contact us at (404) 658-9900 to learn more about our consultation process and fees.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any existing estate planning documents (wills, trusts, powers of attorney), financial statements, property deeds, insurance policies, and a list of your assets and debts. The more information you bring, the more productive our first meeting will be.
Do you handle cases outside of the Atlanta area?
While our office is located in Decatur, we serve clients throughout the state of Georgia. We also offer phone and video consultations for those who cannot visit our office in person.
