Georgia Wills & Trusts Law — What You Need to Know

In Georgia, estate planning typically involves creating a will or a trust to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Here’s a brief overview of these important legal documents:

• Wills: A will is a legal document that specifies how your assets and belongings should be distributed after your death. It can also appoint an executor to manage your estate and carry out your instructions. Georgia law requires that a will be signed in the presence of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries. A properly drafted will ensures that your wishes are honored and can help prevent disputes among heirs.
• Trusts: A trust is a legal arrangement where one party (the trustee) manages assets for the benefit of another party (the beneficiary). There are several types of trusts, including:
  • Revocable Trusts: These trusts can be altered or revoked by the grantor during their lifetime. They are often used to avoid probate and manage assets in case of incapacity.
  • Irrevocable Trusts: Once established, these trusts cannot be changed or revoked. They are typically used for asset protection and tax planning.
  • Special Needs Trusts: Designed to provide for individuals with disabilities without affecting their eligibility for government benefits.

Our experienced attorneys can help you choose the right type of trust based on your needs and goals, ensuring that it is legally binding and effective.

How Your Atlanta Wills and Trusts Lawyer Structures the Plan

Our Atlanta wills and trusts lawyer starts by mapping your assets and intentions. We then match each goal to the right vehicle: a last will for guardianship of minor children and the residuary estate, a revocable living trust to sidestep probate and keep family matters private, an irrevocable trust for asset protection or estate tax planning, and a special needs trust that preserves eligibility for government benefits under Supplemental Security Income rules.

We also handle the funding step that many DIY plans miss — retitling deeds, brokerage accounts, and business interests into the trust so the documents actually work on day one. For families with charitable goals, we draft charitable remainder and lead trusts in coordination with IRS charitable trust guidance. And we pair every plan with durable powers of attorney and Georgia advance healthcare directives so your wishes are followed even if you cannot speak for yourself.
