  • “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!!!”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

Our passion for probate law is deeply rooted in a personal story.

During his college years, our founding attorney, Erik Broel, witnessed a probate estate situation spiral out of control in his own family.

An uncle’s death left Erik’s aunt, someone he was very close to, in a devastating position. The ensuing estate sale and its impact, seeing cherished family items being tagged and sold, left a lasting impression on him.

He saw his aunt struggle with the complexities of estate management without a will, leading to family discord and confusion at a time when unity and peace were most needed.

Erik’s efforts to assist his aunt, who had to navigate through estate sales and even repurchase her own house, left a lasting impact on him. Witnessing her emotional and physical distress inspired Erik to dedicate his career to preventing others from undergoing similar difficulties.

This experience fueled his commitment to finding better ways to handle estates and trusts, ensuring that others don’t endure similar hardships.

Erik’s mission is to demystify the estate and trust processes, making them accessible and manageable, always with a human touch. His belief in specialization means that clients receive focused, empathetic guidance tailored to their unique circumstances.
