Georgia probate is a court process. Which means you have very little, if any, control over the how, when, what. When it comes to your children, that is very likely not how you have parented your children so why settle for that if you cannot be there for them!
Thinking about not being there for your kids is hard enough. Not having ANY say over what is going on if you die, unbearable to think about. So why settle for the probate process by having a will based estate plan. The probate court in Georgia will control each step of the process. They will say what happens next and when. If you haven’t nominated a guardian, they control that process as well. If you do not have a trust based plan, they will control the process in a rigid fashion all the way up until your child turns 18 years of age. It is called a conservatorship.
Do not settle for probate. Do not settle for a conservatorship. Not when you can avoid it all!
