When a loved one passes, the last thing a family should face is waiting months—or even years—for access to funds. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what can happen during probate in Georgia. Every step requires court approval, paperwork, and mandatory waiting periods.
For mothers with young children, that delay can mean real hardship. Essential expenses like childcare, housing, and groceries may be difficult to cover if funds are tied up in probate.
Planning ahead with a living trust can help your family bypass these delays and ensure your children are cared for without waiting on court timelines.
