Understanding Georgia Probate Law

Whenever a family member passes away, they leave behind property and personal assets, from real estate to stock portfolios. The estate planning process helps families plan for the future by drafting wills and utilizing other legal instruments to devise property to specified beneficiaries at a later date. Upon the death or disability of a loved one, probate is the process by which these assets are disbursed in accordance with the wishes of the deceased, or in accordance with the intestacy succession laws of Georgia if the loved one passed away without a will. Under Georgia law, the probate process can be difficult to navigate. To guide you through the process of probate and estate administration, the team at Fennell, Briasco & Associates™ can serve as your trusted legal adviser.
