Does Georgia Have A Simple Probate Process? Peach State Wills & Trusts

Is Georgia's Probate Process Simple? Georgia does not have a small estate affidavit or simplified probate process, but it does have two special processes for certain situations.

Highlights
1:00 🏛️ Georgia does not have a small estate affidavit or simplified probate process.
1:15 💰 The “small bank account process” allows for the payout of funds from a bank account with a value of less than $15,000 to certain relatives.
2:00 📜 A “petition for no Administration necessary” can be pursued if the decedent died without a will, no debts are owed, and the heirs have agreed upon how to divide the estate.
2:45 ⚖️ An “order that no Administration is necessary” might not be pursued due to potential creditor claims, leading to a regular probate process instead.
