Trusts, Estates, and Probate — Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a will if I have a small estate?

Yes, in almost every case. A will names guardians for minor children, controls who inherits personal property, and prevents Georgia's intestacy statute from making the decision for you.

How long does probate take in Georgia?

Uncontested probate in a Georgia county typically resolves in six to twelve months. Contested matters take longer.

Can I write my own will in Georgia?

Legally yes — Georgia recognizes handwritten and typed wills that meet the statutory requirements. Practically no. Self-drafted wills fail the requirements often, invite contests, and cost far more to sort out later than a professionally drafted will would have cost up front.

What is a revocable living trust and do I need one?

A revocable living trust is a legal entity you create, control, and change during your lifetime. Assets titled to the trust avoid probate. Not everyone needs one. If you own real estate in more than one state, if you own a closely held business, or if privacy matters to you, a trust is often worth the extra work.
