Guiding Personal Representatives Through Georgia’s Probate Process

The death of a loved one is hard, especially if you are named the personal representative of his or her estate. Besides having to process your grief, you have the duty of making sure all the deceased’s assets get distributed according to his or her wishes and settle any outstanding debts. Probate in Georgia is a precise process that requires you to follow a specific series of steps, whether you understand the law or not.
