CARROLLTON, GEORGIA REVOCABLE TRUST PLANNING

Help keep trust property out of probate

Property properly transferred to a revocable trust can generally be administered under the trust instead of through probate—while you keep control during your lifetime. Flat-fee packages are available for straightforward matters in Carroll County and nearby Georgia communities.

HOLIDAY SPECIAL · THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2026

Single person — $1,250

Couple — $1,400

Each qualifying package includes:

  • The appropriate revocable trust plan
  • Pour-over will or wills
  • Attorney drafting, document review, and signing guidance
  • Preparation of one standard Georgia deed for one eligible property

Additional qualifying deeds are $50 each. Recording, governmental, and other third-party fees are additional.

Probate benefits apply to property properly transferred to, titled in, or otherwise directed to the trust. Flat-fee eligibility is confirmed after attorney review and conflicts screening.

Why a revocable trust?

A revocable trust can help keep properly transferred property out of probate while you stay in control during your lifetime.

It can also provide continuity if you become unable to manage your property, give your successor trustee clear instructions, and allow administration to occur more privately than the public probate process.

The key is funding: the probate-avoidance benefit generally applies to property properly transferred to, titled in, or otherwise directed to the trust.

Four understandable steps

1. Submit your inquiry. Provide nonconfidential contact and planning information.

2. Confirm the package. The firm reviews conflicts, location, and flat-fee eligibility.

3. Complete planning information. If accepted, complete the engagement documents and questionnaire.

4. Review, sign, and complete transfers. Sign the documents, complete the included eligible-property deed, and coordinate other assets that should be directed to the trust.

Frequently asked questions

What property can the trust keep out of probate?

Everything we properly transfer to it. Property titled in the trust is administered under the trust instructions rather than through probate. Property left outside the trust may still require probate, so ownership and beneficiary designations should match the plan.

Can I change a revocable trust later?

Yes. While you have legal capacity, you can generally amend, restate, or revoke your trust as your circumstances change.

How do I transfer property into the trust?

Real estate is ordinarily transferred by recording a new deed naming the trust or trustee as owner. The package includes one standard Georgia deed for an eligible property. Additional qualifying deeds are $50 each, and recording fees are additional. Other assets may require ownership or beneficiary changes.

What is a simple revocable trust matter?

A simple matter covers a Georgia resident or couple with aligned goals, straightforward beneficiaries, and standard Georgia property. A matter may not qualify if it involves:

  • Special-needs, Medicaid, or long-term-care planning
  • Asset-protection, advanced-tax, or irrevocable-trust planning
  • Contested family circumstances or custom controls
  • Out-of-state or entity-owned property, or complicated title work

When does representation begin?

After conflict review, firm acceptance, and a signed engagement agreement. An inquiry alone does not create an attorney-client relationship.
