We’ll help you put the right documents in place for your needs – wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directive for health care. Whether you need just one document or a full plan, we’ll walk you through the options and make the process straightforward.

A will directs who receives your assets and who will handle your estate through the probate process after death. A trust can be used to avoid or simplify probate and add more control over how and when assets are distributed. Trusts are often helpful if you want extra protection or structure, such as planning for a child with special needs, a beneficiary who isn’t financially responsible, privacy concerns, blended family situations, or business assets.

Many people believe they should choose a trust over a will to avoid probate. However, probate in Georgia can be relatively efficient when the estate is straightforward and there aren’t disputes among family members. In many cases, the initial step of getting authority to act for the estate (Letters Testamentary) can happen in a matter of months, depending on the county and the specifics of the case.

Yes. Estate planning isn't just about wealth. It ensures someone you trust can make medical and financial decisions on your behalf if you're unable to, and that your wishes are followed regardless of the size of your estate.

The state decides how your assets are distributed through intestacy laws. You also won't have anyone legally designated to make medical or financial decisions for you during your lifetime if you become incapacitated.

It means transferring ownership of your assets into the trust. A trust only works for the assets it holds, so this step is essential. We'll guide you through the process after your documents are signed.
