Understanding Georgia Probate
Probate in Georgia generally involves:
Filing the will with the county probate court
Legally appointing an executor (or administrator)
Notifying heirs and creditors
Inventorying and valuing assets
Paying outstanding debts and taxes
Distributing what’s left to the rightful beneficiaries
Depending on whether the decedent had a valid will—or no will at all—this process can be straightforward or full of legal landmines.
