A General Practice Firm

Probate may be one of many matters they handle

  • Their attention may be divided across practice areas
  • Probate may be only one part of the caseload
  • Unusual issues can require added research and time
  • Your matter may be one of many on the docket

Any licensed attorney can open a probate case. The question is whether probate is a true focus of their practice, and whether they have handled these matters often enough to guide your family with clarity through a process where mistakes, delay, and uncertainty can be costly.

TESTIMONIALS


  • “He was very kind and I felt like he really cared about what I needed, not just another case.”

    Sandra Stokes

  • “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.”

    Kathy Kirby

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was the best choice to handle the probate process efficiently. At my first contact, I was reassured and confident they were going to work for what was in my best interest. Regular contact and availability great throughout the process! I first tried to start the process on my own. Don’t make the same mistake! Let Georgia Probate Law Group’s professionals help you during your difficult time for peace of mind and get it right the first time.”

    William Duck

  • “I have to share with you that I feel like you guys are handling things so professionally and even though it’s hard/time-consuming for me to produce the documents because it’s been so long ago and I either gave the documents to my former attorney or didn’t know to keep them, I really appreciate how the estate is being handled now. I’m thinking he (former atty) must have been using one of those big yellow books written about “_____ _____ for Dummies because the difference is night and day.”

    Gloria Mitchell

  • “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!!!”

    Anonymous Client

  • “Georgia Probate law Group was able to help me settle a difficult family member’s estate. I found the group online and took a chance, it worked. They were knowledgeable, capable and most caring throughout the entire process. They are an outstanding law group!”

    Carolyn Inglis

  • “I cannot thank you all enough for what you did for me. When we started, if you remember, that was what I really wanted. The truth. We all worked together and got it. Thank you for much for that Erik! I love you guys so much and will forever be grateful for you.”

    Catherine C.

  • “I would highly recommend GPLG to anyone needing assistance dealing with a legal probate matter. Their team worked diligently to provide me with help in my time of need. My questions were answered in a timely manner and the legal procedures were explained to me in a way that I could easily understand.

    I was treated with respect and patience in a time when I was not only grieving a loss, but also needed guidance navigating foreign territory. Their help was much appreciated.”

    Ursula Thiel

  • 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.”

    Stephen L.

  • “My legal team at Georgia Probate Law Group was instrumental in guiding me through a very emotional time of probating my loved one’s estate.They were very compassionate and knowledgeable throughout this whole process.Even though I felt confused and lost, they effectively guided and helped me settle everything correctly and legally.”

    Danny Wright

Georgia Probate Law Group - probate is complicated

Probate is complicated.

We believe in settling an estate or trust fairly and making the process as simple and easy to understand as possible.

Sometimes, that means helping administer and settle an estate or trust peacefully, while other times, it means aggressively litigating a situation in court. Other times, we help with estates and trusts that are somewhere in between those two extremes.

Our staff is friendly, helpful, and here for you. We care about our clients and help you understand your situation, make a plan, and ensure that things are done fairly and right.
