Wills & Trusts Lawyers in Athens, GA

A Georgia will must be signed by someone at least 14 years old and witnessed by two people; adding a self proving affidavit means the witnesses never have to appear in court. Georgia has no estate or inheritance tax. Without a will, a spouse shares the estate with the children and never receives less than a third.

A revocable living trust keeps assets out of probate and private, at the cost of retitling them during your lifetime. Most plans also include a durable financial power of attorney and the Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care.
