Georgia Probate Risk Score

Georgia Probate Risk Score

A fast, easy check for Georgia families. No exact account numbers needed. Answer what you know, then calculate your score.

Question 9 of 9 100% complete
1 Do you own a home in Georgia?

Even when two names are on a deed, the exact wording can still matter in Georgia.

2 Do you own any other real estate?

Out-of-state property is a common reason estates get slower and more expensive.

3 Do your bank and investment accounts have beneficiaries (POD/TOD)?

Accounts with no beneficiaries often get stuck until the court appoints someone.

4 When were beneficiary forms last reviewed?

Life changes can quietly break old beneficiary forms.

5 Which best describes your current planning documents?

A will can help with instructions, but it does not avoid probate in Georgia.

6 Do you have current Georgia documents for incapacity?
Financial Power of Attorney
So someone can act for you if you are alive but cannot manage things.
Healthcare Directive + HIPAA
So the right person can speak with doctors and make decisions.
7 Which best describes your family situation?

If you choose “Other,” we make a best-guess assumption: long-term partner (not married), no kids together.

8 If you passed away, would your family agree on what to do?

Even small disagreements can cause major delays in court-based processes.

9 Do any of these feel true?
I have not reviewed my home deed with anyone in years
For example, you do not know if it says “joint with right of survivorship” or “tenants in common.”
I have an old account from a past job (401k, pension)
These are easy to forget, and beneficiaries are often out of date.
No one else could access my digital accounts right now
Think email, phone, photos, bills, or online banking.

      Tip: If you are unsure about deed wording or beneficiaries, start there.

      Educational estimate only. This does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not legal advice. A planning meeting is how you get a precise, Georgia-specific plan for your exact assets and family.
