Probate in Georgia
Georgia sets an executor commission by statute: 2.5% of the money received plus 2.5% of the money paid out, along with attorney and filing fees. Two routes can avoid a full probate, a bank-account affidavit for small balances and a petition for no administration necessary that has no dollar cap. Where probate is needed, the choice between common form and solemn form and the statutory creditor notice drive the timeline.
Personal Injury in Georgia
Georgia gives two years to sue for most injuries, but only 12 months to notify a government entity first. Recovery is barred the moment your fault reaches 50%, a stricter line than the 51% bar used in many states. Damages are not capped, and attorney fees have no cap at all, even in medical malpractice, only a general reasonableness standard.
Family Law in Georgia
Georgia sets child support from a statutory table, with pro rata shares, a parenting time adjustment, add-ons and a low-income adjustment. Marital property is divided equitably, not necessarily equally, and there is no alimony formula: the statute applies a needs-and-ability test and includes a bar tied to adultery. A divorce requires six months of residence and 30 days from service on the ground of irretrievable breakdown.
