I felt lost before I started working with Georgia Probate Law Group group, but they helped me settle everything correctly and legally. This has taken away all of the anxiety and stress of being out of state.

    My legal team at Georgia Probate Law Group communicated with me effectively and helped guide me through the probate of my mom’s estate. They were knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate throughout this difficult process. I have been so pleased and thankful that I chose Georgia Probate Law Group.”

    Lorraine Gobert
  • “This law firm handled everything way beyond what the others would do. Erik’s staff and the way everything was handled so professional. I could write a book about why you should use this Firm. All you have to do is call them you will see right away how quickly they handle your case. I have never had the opportunity to deal with such a great Law Firm. Anyone can ask me any question they want and I’ll tell them why they need Erik to handle their case. Thank You so much for your services!”

    Rob
  • “My husband and I found Mr Broel to grasp our situation and needs quickly. He answered all our questions and guided us through the process of proceeding with probate 5 months after my mother’s passing and having the appointed executrix walk away from her responsibilities. Every action required and taken was fully explained to us and how it was part of the process. He, or a staff person, answered all phone calls and/or emails promptly.”

    Kathy Kirby
  • “It has been a privilege to have the Georgia Probate Law Group representing my case!!! From the initial phone call and meeting, the team consisting of Jenny, Erik, Stacey, Joanne, and Matthew have been very professional and responsive. I would highly recommend them for any estate and trust matters.”

    Mike Sanders
  • “Because of Erik Broel’s dedication and professionalism, my family’s experience of unexpectedly losing a loved one was not made more emotionally traumatic. He lead and advised us at every step of the legal process, as well as outlining potential challenges. Erik also guided my family in making informed decisions during the case, avoiding unnecessary time and added expense.

    Erik protected my family members from losing property, and money that was rightfully theirs. Additionally, he suggested that the settlement account for appropriate expenses (which had not occurred to me). Erik worked diligently ensuring that my family was in a position to succeed.

    His sole purpose is achieving the best result for those he represents. Erik Broel literally takes the defense of his client’s interests personally.”

    Stephen L.
  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was a blessing to me and my family. After speaking with them I knew that they would be the lawyers to help us. They were fast, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed working with them in getting our property ready for sale. If I had a question or concern, they talked to me and made sure that I understood all that was involved.

    They answered my calls immediately and never acted like I was intruding or that they didn’t have time to talk to me. I highly recommend Georgia Probate Law Group. You couldn’t find a better group.”

    Shelia Morrow
  • “GPLG provided the help I needed as executor in working through the probate process of my father’s estate. The team assigned provided legal assistance in matters regarding the estate which I needed their expertise to align with the probate process.

    The relationship was very helpful in working through legal issues and ultimately ensuring proper closure to the estate with filing the closing with the probate court. I would recommend GPLG no matter where you are in the process or regardless of how much assistance you think you need. It is nice to know that you can depend on having a qualified team at your side each step of the way.”

    Ken Timmerman
  • “I really do not think there is a finer or more caring group of professionals around. Thank you all for making the unbearable not so hard at all and the impossible all done. Each of you makes me feel as though I am not only your most important client but your only client, even though I know better.”

    Vicki F.
  • “My experience with Mr Broel was very beneficial and rewarding. He was a great service to my needs. I would definitely go to him with other legal matters and highly recommend him to anyone needing legal advice.”

About Us

Single-Minded Dedication That Gets Results

Georgia Probate and Estate Law 
is our focus and passion.

It’s what we do, our bread and butter, day in and day out. This single-minded dedication is what makes us the best in this field.

We work in every county within the State of Georgia and help individuals and families from all over the United States. When a family member passes away, our team is there to help you through one of the most difficult times you will face.

Probate is complicated.

We believe in settling an estate or trust fairly and making the process as simple and easy to understand as possible.

Sometimes, that means helping administer and settle an estate or trust peacefully, while other times, it means aggressively litigating a situation in court. Other times, we help with estates and trusts that are somewhere in between those two extremes.

Our staff is friendly, helpful, and here for you. We care about our clients and help you understand your situation, make a plan, and ensure that things are done fairly and right.
