Wills, Trusts, Estate Planning and Probate for Georgia
then the Georgia Legislature and the
Probate Court will select an off the rack
plan for your family. There are many
reasons why this is not a desirable
outcome. Let me tell you about just a
few.

For one thing, if you have minor
children, your surviving spouse can be
prevented from doing anything with your
property without first getting approval
from the Court.

On the other hand, the State may award  
lump sums to your children once they
reach 18 years of age even if they are
not yet mature enough to handle money.  

And if your husband or wife is a
Foreign National, you could lose a large
portion of your Estate to taxes.

Selecting an Estate Plan that fits your
family's needs does not take long and is
relatively inexpensive. However, not
planning for your loved ones once you
are gone can be very costly and time
consuming. Worst of all, not planning
can be a very painful experience for
your family at a time when they're
already experiencing heartache.

Help protect your family by e-mailing
or calling me at 770-795-4992. Let's
discuss your plans, goals and concerns.
