Testimonials

    Suzanne Brown
  • “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
  • “I spoke to Erik Broel on March 11, 2014 concerning my husband who died last month. He died with no will, assets, insurance or heirs. But I was having a problem with his bank regarding closing his personal checking account, (less than $500) because the bank wanted something from probate court. Mr. Broel pointed me to a section of the Banking Code which allowed me to close his account with no further hindrance from the bank. I had, for 3 weeks, been trying to close his account and Mr. Broel, with his expertise, solved my problem in one short phone call. Thanks to him, this is one more problem I can cross off my list. Mr. Broel is a keeper. Thank you sir!!!”

  • “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.”

    Doug Black

    Melony Robinson
  • “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.”

    Roy J.
  • “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
  • “The legal team is very courteous, knowledgeable, responds quickly to inquiries, and explains all matters thoroughly. They have been very professional and easy to work with. This case has not been settled at this time but we don’t foresee any matters they will not be able to handle. The compassion and respect shown to clients makes a difficult time easier to deal with.”

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.
