What happens to your loved ones and assets if life takes an unexpected turn? At Peach State Wills & Trusts, we've been guiding Georgia families toward peace of mind with estate planning that puts their wishes first. A Last Will and Testament is a key part of any solid plan, ensuring your intentions are honored and your loved ones protected.
Why is a Will So Important?
● Control Over Your Assets: A Will gives you the power to decide how your property and assets are distributed. Without one, Georgia's default rules take over, which may not reflect your wishes.
● Care for Young Children: If you're a parent, a Will lets you designate guardians for your children, ensuring they're cared for by people you trust if you're not around
● Keeping the Peace: By clearly outlining your wishes, a Will helps avoid conflicts or misunderstandings among family members, making a tough time a bit easier for those you care about.
Legal Basics in Georgia
To be legally binding in Georgia, your Will must be in writing, signed by you and two witnesses, and you must be at least 14 years old and of sound mind. While notarization isn't required, adding a notarized self-proving affidavit can make probate smoother for your family.
Preparing for the Unexpected
Life is full of surprises, and having a Will gives you peace of mind that your loved ones will be taken care of. If you own a business, a Will can outline a succession plan, securing what you've built. And don't forget digital assets; with a Will, you can leave instructions for your online accounts and digital property.
