Testimonials

  • “My legal team at Georgia Probate Law Group was instrumental in guiding me through a very emotional time of probating my loved one’s estate.They were very compassionate and knowledgeable throughout this whole process.Even though I felt confused and lost, they effectively guided and helped me settle everything correctly and legally.”

    Danny Wright
  • “I have to share with you that I feel like you guys are handling things so professionally and even though it’s hard/time-consuming for me to produce the documents because it’s been so long ago and I either gave the documents to my former attorney or didn’t know to keep them, I really appreciate how the estate is being handled now. I’m thinking he (former atty) must have been using one of those big yellow books written about “_____ _____ for Dummies because the difference is night and day.”

    Gloria Mitchell

    Vicki Davis
  • “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
  • “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
  • “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.
