Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in Georgia
Georgia asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Georgia
Georgia blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Business Succession Planning in Georgia
Georgia business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.
Charitable Trusts in Georgia
Georgia charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.
Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Georgia
Georgia digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.
Spouse's Elective Share in Georgia
Georgia elective share: Year's support (12 months living expenses); no traditional elective share.
Estate-Tax Planning in Georgia
Georgia estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Georgia
Georgia guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Probate Court. Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.
Healthcare Directives in Georgia
Georgia healthcare directives: Advance Directive for Health Care (statutory form).
Heirs' Property in Georgia
Georgia heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.
Intestate Succession in Georgia: What Happens If You Die Without a Will
If you die in Georgia without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse and children share equally — but the spouse's share never falls below 1/3 of the estate, regardless of the number of children.
Living Trusts in Georgia
A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates with real estate or over $10K personal property typically benefit most.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will or trust — which do I need?

A will directs your property and names guardians; a living trust can also avoid probate and manage property if you can't.

How often should I update my will?

After major life changes — marriage, divorce, children, moving states or big changes in assets.

Do I need an estate lawyer to write a will?

Not legally, but mistakes in do-it-yourself wills are common and can leave a family in probate disputes. A lawyer makes sure it's valid under your state's law.

What is probate?

The court process that settles a person's estate — confirming the will, paying debts and distributing property. A lawyer can often make it faster and cheaper.

How much does estate planning cost in Georgia?

Simple wills are often a flat fee; trusts and full plans cost more. Ask for a written quote for the documents you need.
