Services
At our firm, we provide comprehensive estate planning and probate services with a strong commitment to honor and integrity. We take time to understand each clients circumstances and develop customized legal solutions. Our goal is to simplify complex planning and probate matters while protecting assets, honoring wishes, and supporting families through difficult transitions.
We guide clients through the Georgia probate process to ensure estates are properly administered and assets distributed in accordance with the law. Our work includes validating wills, addressing debts and taxes, and overseeing transfers to beneficiaries. When no will exists, we assist with intestate administration while protecting the rights of heirs and surviving family members.
We help individuals establish wills that clearly communicate their wishes and protect those who matter most. By addressing key decisions in advance, our services promote smoother administration and reduced uncertainty. Each document is prepared with attention to detail, ensuring compliance and lasting confidence.
We assist clients in creating trusts that provide structure, flexibility, and protection within an estate plan. Trusts offer meaningful advantages, including controlled asset distribution and reduced court involvement. Our approach focuses on selecting and drafting trust arrangements that accurately support our clients long-term planning goals.
Our practice focuses on protecting assets through carefully structured estate planning solutions. We work to reduce vulnerability to lawsuits and creditor claims while maintaining control and clarity in asset distribution. Effective planning allows clients to bypass probate challenges, address tax considerations, and limit disputes. This approach supports long-term financial security and peace of mind.
Establishing a Power of Attorney is a vital component of comprehensive estate planning. It enables you to appoint an agent to manage key financial, legal, or health-related responsibilities on your behalf. Our experienced team helps you draft and execute a legally valid POA in Georgia, ensuring your interests are protected and your intentions clearly defined.
At our firm, we help clients prepare a Georgia Advance Directive for Health Care to secure their medical autonomy. This essential document authorizes a chosen agent to make health care decisions and records your treatment preferences. Our team ensures that your directives are clearly drafted, legally valid, and fully aligned with your personal values.

After my husbands long illness and death, I was in need of legal assistance for probate purposes.
I have dealt with many attorneys during my career, however on a personal level, I must say. Mr.Garnett and his office staff made this quick and seemingly painless. It was never necessary for me to make a phone call to follow up,as I was always kept informed every step. This process was professionally and will always be appreciated.
