Opening an Estate or Filing a Will in Fulton County
A Georgia will generally belongs in the Probate Court of the county where the deceased was domiciled at death. Different petition types apply depending on whether there is a will, whether an executor can serve and whether administration is required.
Probate the Will
Common-form and solemn-form probate are different Georgia procedures.
Administration
An administrator may need to be appointed when the decedent died intestate.
No Administration Necessary
This procedure may be available in qualifying cases when Georgia legal requirements are met.
Probate staff cannot choose your petition or give legal advice. Use the court’s procedural information and obtain legal advice for legal strategy when needed.
