Helping Families Around Atlanta For More Than Three Decades

Protecting Your Rights Throughout The Probate Process

Probate in Georgia is the process by which the legal title of the property is transferred from the decedent’s estate to his or her beneficiaries. However, planning early can spare those most important to you the pain of conflict and dispute.

Respected attorney Karen Brown Williams has served the Atlanta area since 1991, helping families get through the probate process as painlessly as possible. She understands how stressful and overwhelming probate can be, especially when mourning the loss of a loved one. She will stand by your side and help you move forward.

Understanding The Probate Process

The purpose of a probate proceeding is to settle every possible claim so that title to the assets of the estate passes to the rightful beneficiaries free and clear of adverse claims. The deceased person’s assets are administered to ensure that all creditors are paid, all rights of the beneficiaries and heirs are protected, and the estate assets are properly and fairly distributed. Whether a person dies with only a will or no will at all, a probate will likely be necessary if the decedent owned assets over a certain amount or if they owned assets only in their own name.

Attorney Williams counsels and advises her clients who have been named as the executor or administrator of an estate in Georgia through every step of the probate process.

Her services include:

  • Providing the proper tools to accurately account for all of the expenses of probate.
  • Assisting in the completion of an accurate inventory of all of the assets of the estate.
  • Helping to locate all possible benefits, including insurance policies and pension benefits.
  • Assisting with property valuations for certain types of assets.
  • Supervising the distribution of the estate in accordance with the terms of the will or state law.

Attorney Karen Brown Williams is a knowledgeable and caring probate administration lawyer who is committed to helping her clients maximize the amount that can be gathered into the estate and minimize the amount that will go to taxes.
