When a person passes away, probate of his or her Last Will and Testament is often required before heirs can inherit property owned at the person's death. If the person had no Will, the person's property is commonly managed by an administrator appointed by the probate court (often a family member). Exceptions include certain "small estates" and property that is passed on to heirs by other means, such as through a trust, a beneficiary designation, or a Payable on Death election. A probate lawyer helps families navigate the various scenarios.
It is generally advisable to work with a qualified Georgia probate lawyer, both to understand what processes, forms, and other estate administration requirements are necessary and to seek assistance with the many details of the probate process.
