Protect Your Loved Ones & Ensure Your Wishes Are Followed

Creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your family and ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without a will, Georgia’s intestacy laws will determine who inherits your estate, which may not align with your intentions.

At Siedentopf Law, our Atlanta wills lawyers help individuals and families create legally sound wills that provide clarity and peace of mind. Whether you need a simple will or a more complex estate plan, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Why You Need a Legally Valid Will in Georgia

A properly drafted will ensures that your final wishes are carried out and prevents unnecessary stress for your loved ones. Key benefits of having a will include:

  • Control Over Asset Distribution – Decide exactly who will inherit your property, savings, and personal belongings..

  • Guardianship for Minor Children – Appoint a trusted guardian to care for your children if something happens to you.

  • Avoid Family Disputes – Clearly outline your wishes to prevent conflicts among beneficiaries.

  • Minimize Probate Delays – A well-structured will can help streamline the probate process and reduce unnecessary costs.

  • Name an Executor – Choose someone you trust to handle your estate and ensure your instructions are followed.

Without a will, your estate will be distributed based on Georgia’s intestacy laws, which may not reflect your preferences.

What Should Be Included in a Will?

A legally enforceable will should address:

  • How your assets and property should be distributed

  • Who will serve as the executor of your estate

  • Guardianship arrangements for minor children

  • Specific instructions for sentimental or valuable belongings

  • Charitable contributions or special gifts

Our attorneys will ensure that your will is customized to reflect your exact wishes and provide long-term security for your loved ones.

Types of Wills We Can Help You Create

Our estate planning lawyers can assist with:

  • Simple Wills – A basic will that outlines asset distribution and guardianship appointments.

  • Pour-Over Wills – Designed to work alongside a trust, directing any remaining assets into the trust upon your passing.

  • Living Wills – Also known as an advance directive, this document outlines your healthcare preferences in case of incapacity.

  • Joint Wills – A single will for married couples that ensures assets pass to the surviving spouse.

  • Testamentary Trust Wills – Establishes a trust upon your passing to provide structured inheritance management.

No matter your financial situation or family structure, we can create a will that meets your specific needs.

Do I Need a Will If I Already Have a Trust?

Yes. Even if you have a trust, a will is still necessary to cover any assets not included in the trust. A pour-over will ensures that all remaining property is transferred to your trust after your passing.
