Testimonials

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was able to help me settle my brother’s estate. They were knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate throughout this difficult process. I want to personally mention David D. Dupree. He answered all my questions and was very attentive!”

    Lorraine Gobert
  • “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.
  • “I can state that Erik is a consummate professional whose consultative style is second to none. He has an effortless manner about him that engenders trust and security, which only increases when he delivers the results you need. And Erik delivers. He’s the kind of guy that stands out from other attorneys that I’ve encountered– and trust me, I interviewed several before going with Erik.

    One of the things I like best about Erik is that he’s an intense bulldog when it comes to getting the job done, yet he also has a soft sincerity that’s built on how much he cares for his clients. That’s rare, but that’s Erik in a nutshell. He is a problem-solver who un-ties the most complex knot of an issue with an elegant and intuitive simplicity. I would highly recommend Erik Broel for anyone looking for a passionate and highly-competent attorney with heart.”

    Eric Y.
  • “I would highly recommend GPLG to anyone needing assistance dealing with a legal probate matter. Their team worked diligently to provide me with help in my time of need. My questions were answered in a timely manner and the legal procedures were explained to me in a way that I could easily understand.

    I was treated with respect and patience in a time when I was not only grieving a loss, but also needed guidance navigating foreign territory. Their help was much appreciated.”

    Ursula Thiel
  • “I recently engaged the services of Georgia Probate Law Group for handling the probate of my late relative’s estate, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The entire team was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the complex probate process with ease and confidence. Their professionalism was evident from our first meeting, and they consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of estate law.
    Communication was outstanding; they were always available to answer my questions and provided clear, detailed explanations, ensuring I fully understood each stage of the process. Their compassionate approach made a challenging time much more manageable, and I felt genuinely supported throughout.
    Thanks to Georgia Probate Law Group’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail, the probate process was completed smoothly and efficiently. I am extremely grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend them to anyone in need of probate or estate legal assistance. They truly went above and beyond to ensure a positive outcome.”

    Carrie Wagner

    Carolyn Inglis
  • “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
  • “Kimberly was kind and compassionate in helping me settle my father’s estate. She explained things clearly and I appreciate her honesty and integrity in working with me. Great experience and I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone looking for honest and fair representation.”

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.
