Write a Will
A will is a legal document that declares how property should be divided after a person dies.
A person can use a will to legally declare how their property should be divided and distributed when they die.
In Georgia, a valid will must be in writing and signed by either the person making the will or someone designated by the person making the will. A will prepared in another state may be valid in Georgia if it meets certain requirements.
If there is no valid will when someone dies, any property will be distributed to living relatives, such as a spouse and children, according to Georgia law.
