Getting professional advice on navigating the Georgia Probate process is a wise decision. Even the most straightforward probate situations can take six to 12 months or longer to fully resolve. An experienced probate lawyer can help expedite the process for appointment and administration and minimize delays.
Hiring Wilson Legal can help ensure that you:
- Complete each legal document correctly and provide the right information to the court.
- Honor your loved one’s legacy in the way that he or she intended.
- Avoid legal mistakes that complicate carrying out your loved one’s final wishes.
- Avoid costly delays that keep you from closing the estate in a timely manner.
Even if your loved one didn’t have a will, the estate may still need to go through what is called “intestate succession” before assets can be sold or given to heirs. Remember you still start with the question of what the decedent owned because you do not want to go through this process unnecessarily. If you’re the executor, you are legally responsible for managing the estate which includes three steps: gather the assets, paying debts, and distributing assets like your loved one’s personal property. You will also need to manage beneficiary expectations and be a good communicator. Having an experienced law firm like Wilson Legal that listens well and communicates clearly helps when an executor or administrator do not want to have to handle all the communications required with beneficiaries and other third parties. Having the help of experienced attorneys will also help you avoid common problems that can occur during probate.
