Why Georgia Families Create a Will

Without a will, Georgia intestacy law and the court decide what happens. That often means delays, extra costs, and outcomes you wouldn’t choose.

  • Unintended distribution — State rules, not your wishes, decide who gets what.
  • Spouse vulnerability — By default, a spouse may share with children, not receive everything.
  • No named guardian — A judge, not you, decides who raises your minor children.
  • Confusion & conflict — Families can argue when nothing is written down.
  • Slower, costlier probate — No named executor means more court involvement.

A proper last will and testament (Georgia) replaces uncertainty with clear instructions.

What a Georgia Will Can Do (in Plain English)

  • Say who gets your property — house, money, heirlooms, accounts, and personal items.
  • Name your executor — a trusted person who handles your estate during probate.
  • Choose a guardian — who will raise your minor children if needed.
  • Protect minors — name who manages any inheritance for children.
  • Create testamentary trusts — guardrails for kids, special-needs, or spend-thrift concerns.
  • Support causes — leave gifts to friends or charities.
  • Add business & digital instructions — what to do with a business, domains, crypto, or online accounts.
  • Disinherit thoughtfully — you can direct assets away from certain heirs (subject to Georgia’s legal rights and claims).

Note: A will does not avoid probate.

If you also want to avoid probate and keep transfers private, ask about our Revocable Trust (Essentials Plan).

What’s Included (Two Simple Paths)

1) Free Basic Will — Foundations Plan

A straightforward will that:

  • Leaves everything to your surviving spouse; if your spouse has passed, to your children equally.
  • Names your executor, guardian for minors, and manager for children’s inheritance.
  • Includes Georgia signing checklist (two witnesses; optional self-proving notarization).

2) Custom Will — Built for Your Family

For specific gifts, blended families, testamentary trusts, charities, business instructions, disinheritance, or more detailed control:

  • Tailored asset distribution, including special bequests and charities
  • Trusts inside the will for kids, special-needs, or staged distributions
  • Business, pet care, and digital asset instructions
  • Integrated with POAs and healthcare directives for a complete plan

Upgrade credit: If the free basic will doesn’t meet your needs, you can upgrade. We’ll apply a $500 credit toward the plan you choose.

How This Protects What You’ve Built

  • Separates risk. A claim in one LLC is less likely to reach assets in another LLC or your personal accounts.
  • Supports “veil” protection. Clean banking and books help prevent “piercing the corporate veil.”
  • Easier taxes. Most Georgia LLCs are pass-through (income flows to your return). You track income/expenses clearly and keep deductions tidy.
  • Flexible design. Add more LLCs later as your portfolio or business grows.

Honest limits:
An LLC doesn’t stop claims you personally guarantee (many mortgages and business loans are guaranteed), and commingling funds can weaken protection. We set you up to avoid these mistakes.

Common Questions We Get

Does a will avoid probate in Georgia?

No. A will guides probate but doesn’t avoid it. To keep transfers private and faster, consider a revocable trust.

How do I sign a will in Georgia?

Sign a written will while of sound mind, with two competent adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries. A self-proving affidavit (signed with a notary) is optional but helps the court later.

Can I disinherit a spouse or child?

Georgia allows you to direct assets as you choose, but spouses and minor children may have certain statutory rights (e.g., claims such as year’s support). We’ll explain options.

Who should be my executor?

Someone organized, trustworthy, and available—often a spouse or adult child. We can also name backups.

When is a trust better than a will?

Choose a revocable trust when you want to avoid probate, handle multi-state property, or make administration easier for your family.
