Drafting a Last Will and Testament – Ensuring Your Wishes Are Honored
Law for Georgia, LLC

Creating a Last Will and Testament is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and control what happens to your assets after your death. At Law for Georgia, LLC, we help individuals and families across Georgia draft clear, legally sound wills that reflect their personal values, protect their estate, and ensure that their wishes are carried out without confusion or conflict.

Why You Need a Will

A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that outlines how your property, finances, and personal responsibilities should be handled after your passing. Without a will, Georgia’s intestacy laws will determine who receives your assets—and the result may not reflect your true intentions.

With a properly drafted will, you can:

• Choose who will inherit your assets

• Appoint a guardian for minor children

• Name an executor to manage your estate

• Leave gifts to friends, charities, or organizations

• Reduce confusion and family conflict

• Provide specific instructions for funeral or burial preferences

Key Elements of a Legally Valid Will in Georgia

To be valid under Georgia law, a will must meet the following requirements:

• The testator (person making the will) must be at least 14 years old and of sound mind

• The will must be in writing

• It must be signed by the testator (or by someone else at their direction)

• It must be witnessed by at least two competent individuals, who are not beneficiaries

• Optional: A self-proving affidavit can simplify probate by confirming its validity without requiring witness testimony later

Having your will prepared by an attorney ensures that it complies with Georgia law and reflects your specific goals clearly and enforceably.
