Probate law in Georgia, in brief

Probate happens in the Probate Court of the county where the person lived. The executor petitions for letters testamentary, notifies heirs and creditors, gathers assets, pays debts and distributes what remains. A straightforward Georgia estate takes roughly six months to a year.

Georgia offers shortcuts: when there is no will, no debts and every heir agrees, a petition for no administration necessary skips formal probate, and a surviving spouse or minor children can file for year's support, which takes priority over most creditors.
