You found the will. What happens next?
A will is an important starting point, but it does not answer every administration question. We review the document, discuss how assets were owned, identify the people who may need notice, and determine the appropriate court process. If there is no will, we can discuss administration under Georgia law.
Before distributing belongings, transferring property or making payments from estate funds, it helps to understand who has authority and which obligations must be addressed
Forsyth County Probate Attorney
A clear starting point after a loss
Being asked to handle a loved one's estate can leave you with more questions than answers. You may have a will but no access to accounts, a home that needs attention, or family members looking to you for direction.
Conner Law Group helps families and personal representatives navigate probate and estate administration in Forsyth County. From our Cumming office, we help you understand the estate's needs and organize the work ahead.
Help from the first filing through estate administration
Our work may include preparing probate petitions, guiding executors and administrators, reviewing estate assets and obligations, addressing required records and filings, and advising on distributions and closing steps. The scope depends on the estate and the agreed engagement.
Questions families ask
What should I bring to our first conversation?
1
Bring the will and any amendments, a death certificate if available, court papers, basic family information, and a general list of assets and debts. If documents are missing, tell us what you have and what you are still trying to locate
What if I am unsure whether probate is needed?
2
Start with a review of ownership and beneficiary information. Different assets may follow different transfer procedures. We can help evaluate the estate before you choose a filing.
What happens if my loved one died without a will?
3
The absence of a will changes the questions we need to address, including family relationships, who may seek appointment and how Georgia inheritance law applies. Gather names and contact information for close relatives and a general asset list. We can help evaluate the appropriate administration procedure
