ABOUT GEORGIA PROBATE LAW GROUP

Georgia Probate Law Group is a compassionate, dynamic Georgia probate law firm on a mission to make the probate and estate process fair and simple for our clients. We work to make the process peaceful and efficient, when possible, and we negotiate disputes and litigate them aggressively, if necessary. Our founding attorney, Erik Broel, lost his uncle when he was in college. He watched his aunt go through a very challenging experience. His uncle didnโ€™t leave a will, and his aunt didnโ€™t know how to manage the estate. As a result, chaos erupted in the family, creating confusion and discord at a moment in time when the family needed peace and unity. Although Erik tried to help, he had to watch, mostly helpless, as his aunt put on an estate sale and tried to sell her possessions, when what she really needed was space to deal with her grief. To make matters worse, his aunt had to buy her house back from the estate, since Erikโ€™s โ€œold fashionedโ€ uncle had kept the title in his name. Watching his aunt being pushed around in a wheelchair โ€” because she was too overwhelmed by the chaos of the estate and grief-stricken to stand โ€” formed an indelible impression on Erik and inspired him to his lifeโ€™s work. He became driven to help others avoid the indignities and frustrations that his aunt had to endure. As soon as Erik finished law school, he knew right away that he wanted to work on Georgia probate law matters and to help people like his aunt. To that end, he recruited a fantastic team to build Georgia Probate Law Group and rally around this important mission.

In probate disputes, a client may know an asset existed or remember what happened to it, but the court needs evidence.

Thatโ€™s why documentation, records, and other evidence can become so important when an estate asset is disputed or missing.

๐Ÿšจ What happens when someone dies without a will?

You may need Letters of Administration before you can legally manage the estate, communicate with financial institutions, or deal with estate property.

Not everyone has the legal standing to challenge a will. In probate, an interested party generally needs to show that they could be affected by the outcome.

For example, an heir who could inherit under state law but is excluded by a will may have a reason to object.

You may not necessarily be out of optionsโ€”but waiting can make the process more difficult.

In some probate cases, a late objection may require permission from the court before it can be filed. That means an extra step that could have been avoided by acting within the applicable deadline.

๐Ÿ“œ Probate deadlines vary by state and circumstances. If you believe a will needs to be challenged, get legal advice promptly.

Save this post if youโ€™re dealing with a probate matter, and share it with someone who may need to know.

๐Ÿšจ What happens when a will may have been created or signed fraudulently?

One serious probate issue is fraud โ€” especially when someone allegedly signs a will on behalf of the deceased and then receives a large portion of the estate.

Understanding the warning signs can be important when a will is being challenged.
