Our Suwanee Estate Planning Services

To protect your legacy in Georgia, a simple will is often just the start. Our legal team assists with:

• Last Will and Testament: Directing the distribution of your assets.

• Revocable Living Trusts: Helping your family avoid the lengthy Gwinnett County probate process.

• Advance Directive for Healthcare: Ensuring your medical wishes are honored.

• Financial Power of Attorney: Appointing a trusted person to manage your affairs if you become incapacitated.

The Right Time To Draft Your Will

If a person passes away in Georgia without a will or any estate planning, then the state will declare that person’s estate “intestate.” An intestate estate is one that the state of Georgia will distribute to your family based on their relationship with you. Typically, if you have a surviving spouse and heirs, they’ll divide the estate equally, with your spouse entitled to no less than one-third of the assets.

However, this rough decision making is completely absent from your perspective and preferences for your family’s future. So if you have even thought about getting an estate plan, now is the right time. You want to make sure that you’ve prepared everything for the future of your family.

How Do Wills Avoid Probate?

A will can dictate everything about how your assets can be handled after you pass. Still, on its own, it will not help you heirs and family completely avoid or minimize their probate risks and costs. There are many things you can do with a will to mitigate probate, to be sure. However, the full range of tools to avoid probate will come with a fully realized estate plan, which we can help you write.
