Our Process

STEP 1
Book a Consultation

Meet with our team to discuss your situation and understand what the probate process involves. We'll review the estate, explain your options, and help you determine the right path forward in plain language with no obligation.

STEP 1
STEP 2
Review & File Petition

We'll prepare the probate petition for you, and any other heirs, to review, sign, and have notarized. Once that's ready along with the death certificate, we'll file the petition with the appropriate Georgia probate court on your behalf.

STEP 2
STEP 3
Receive Letters & Next Steps

After the court grants your petition, you'll come into our office to receive your Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. We'll give you clear guidance on your duties and next steps as personal representative, including notifying beneficiaries, creditors, and relevant institutions.

STEP 3
STEP 4
Ongoing Support

If the court requires inventories, annual returns, or a final accounting, our office can prepare them for you, though some clients prefer to handle them independently. Either way, we'll support you until the estate is properly closed.
