About Our Team

Atlanta Wills + Trusts is a different kind of estate planning law firm – this was intentional. While we have the knowledge, experience, and team to help our clients prepare a will, a trust, powers of attorney and other important documents to protect their family, our goal is not just to provide our client with a packet of documents and send them on their way.

Rather, our goal is for our clients to walk away with a plan. A plan that works for them, their family and their lives when they need it to work. A plan they know what to do with, who to tell about, and what next steps to take to ensure they are protected and those they love the most are protected. A plan that isn’t just a transaction, but the beginning of a relationship.

That type of plan requires a law firm, like ours, dedicated to being different, intentional and thoughtful about working with clients to make sure time is taken to answer the important questions and educate our clients.

Each member of our team is dedicated to our clients receiving a plan that works. Meet our team.

We Help Women Protect Who They Love The Most

Nothing on this page, or in links provided on this page, constitutes legal advice or the practice of law. Nor does viewing this page form an attorney/client relationship between you and the firm.

You do not need to know everything to start probate. In fact, the overwhelming majority of people we speak to in our initial consultation do not know what they are supposed to know! It helps to have a team guide you through the things you need to know and things, frankly, you do not need to know.

𝟭. 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲

Families are often grieving, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin—so they wait. Unfortunately, delay rarely makes probate easier. Mail piles up, assets become harder to track, property expenses continue, and decisions become more stressful over time. You do not need every document or every answer before getting started.

𝟮. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀

One missing signature, incomplete family information, missing death certificates, or uncertainty about assets can create avoidable delays. Probate moves more smoothly when families gather core information early and create one organized place for records.

𝟯. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Executors sometimes spend weeks trying to solve issues that are not immediate while overlooking steps that move the estate forward. Understanding priorities—appointment, authority, asset collection, administration, and distribution—often saves time.

Grief affects people differently. Some family members want decisions made quickly. Others need more time. Long-standing relationships, misunderstandings, unequal expectations, or concerns about fairness can create tension during probate.

Executors and Administrators often feel caught in the middle—trying to follow the process while keeping everyone happy.

One of the most helpful things families can do is focus on communication, transparency, and understanding roles early. Probate is not about making everyone agree on every decision. It is about administering the estate responsibly and moving forward with clarity.
