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 didn’t leave a will, and his aunt didn’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 Erik’s “old fashioned” uncle had kept the title in his name. Watching his aunt being pushed around in a wheelchair — because she was too overwhelmed by the chaos of the estate and grief-stricken to stand — formed an indelible impression on Erik and inspired him to his life’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.

🚩 Can you remove an executor?

It’s a question that comes up frequently in probate disputes — especially when beneficiaries believe they’re seeing red flags.

But executor removal isn’t always straightforward. ⚖️ The legal system is designed to give everyone involved a fair opportunity to be heard, which can make the process more complicated than people expect.

Named as an executor in a will? 📜 That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re officially the executor yet.

So, how does someone actually become the executor of an estate?

⚖️ The will identifies the nominated executor.
📋 Documents are filed with the probate court.
🏛️ If the court approves the will and there are no objections, an order can officially appoint the person as executor.

Understanding probate starts with understanding who has authority to manage the estate.

Save this for your probate questions! 📌

Removing an executor isn't always as simple as it sounds.

When a beneficiary complains about an executor, the executor also has the right to respond and explain their side.
