Testimonials

Doug Black
“This is a group that really knows its way around the probate system. They care I worked with Dave Dupee and Dewey Vick. They have a number of years between them and they navigated me through everything. Be aware that you pay for their care, but good legal representation isn’t free. They don’t do anything that isn’t warranted. I have been thrilled with the care they have given.”

Beau Snell
“Georgia Probate Law Group did a very good job when it came to sorting out issues with estate of my grandfather as well as my grandmother. There was property that was in limbo with documentation and the GPLG was able to sort things out and get everyone to the table to hash out the details.
The communication by the legal team handling the estate was excellent. They were very detailed and made sure that all parties involved understood the process and steps that needed to be taken. I also want to commend their billing department because as we all know lawyers are expensive, but I must say that is you communicate with GPLG they will work with you if you are having some financial issues. I highly recommend them.”

“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.”

“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.”

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.
