Carroll County Probate Attorneys
Preserving your family's success for future generations all starts with intelligent, strategic estate planning. Whether you need to change or write your will, or set up a special trust to help your children and grandchildren get a college education, talk to the West Georgia estate planning attorneys at the Law Office of Jack F. Witcher, in Bremen, Georgia. We have experience in a full range of legal areas relating to asset protection, estate tax reduction and probate.
Our Estate Planning Services
- Drafting wills, changing your will: Without a will, your surviving spouse and family members will be forced to place your assets in the hands of a probate judge to make decisions about distribution of assets to heirs and beneficiaries. If you have had a recent life-event change, such as the birth or death of a child or grandchild, adoption or divorce, make sure your will is up-to-date and reflects your current final wishes.
- Trusts: There are living and testamentary (after death) trust instruments to meet a wide range of needs. Contact us to learn more about the type of revocable or non-revocable trust that best suits your tax-reduction needs.
- Living wills, advance directives: We can help you make sure your final wishes regarding medical care and financial decisions are clear. With a living will and durable power of attorney, your family won't have to worry about whether they are making the right decisions.
- Guardianship and conservatorship: We can help you obtain legal guardianship of a minor-aged loved one, or conservatorship for a incapacitated adult. Guardianship and conservatorship are the best way to ensure that your loved one is protected from people seeking illegal control over your loved one's financial interests.
Probate
We also handle all probate matters for families, upon the death of a loved one. We will work with the executor of the will or family representative on matters relating to:
- Probating a will, where the decedent left a valid will
- Intestate matters, in the event the decedent left no will
- Asset inventory and final tax preparation
- Estate administration to work with creditors, debtors and partners to close out contracts and financial obligations
- Contested will litigation and dispute resolution
Services for Clients Living Outside of Georgia
Our lawyers work with non-Georgia residents who's loved one died in West Georgia. In most cases, we can handle the entire probate and estate administration process without making it necessary for you to make multiple court appearances in Georgia.
