Welcome to Georgia Wills and Trust, LLC., where we are committed to helping our clients with Designing Legacies and Protecting Dreams. Principal Attorney Janelle Williams and her team will ensure that you understand the different options available to meet your specific goals. Our mission is to create a comprehensive estate plan that clarifies your values and priorities in a straight forward way. The ultimate goal is peace of mind in knowing that you have left detailed instructions to your loved ones, a true gift in challenging times.

Janelle Williams became a licensed attorney in Georgia in 2004. Her personal experience with the unexpected passing of her grandmother without an estate plan deeply impacted her, revealing a common issue within the African American community regarding legal documents for medical care and life savings. This experience led her to focus on preventing similar family distress by educating her community about preserving their legacy and offering affordable, flat-fee services that are straight-forward and clear.

Georgia Wills and Trust, LLC. specializes in various essential estate planning documents. A Will allows you to dictate how your assets are distributed, place limitations on gifts, and designate decision-makers for your affairs. The firm also assists with a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Release, granting a chosen individual access to your medical records for informed care decisions. An Advanced Health Care Directive empowers you to appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated, and to specify your wishes regarding the end of medical treatment. A Financial Power of Attorney designates a person to manage your financial affairs, preventing costly and time-consuming Probate Court involvement.

Furthermore, the firm helps clients establish a Trust, a private legal document that can minimize family hassles, protect assets from creditors, and allow for provisions for special needs individuals, all while avoiding numerous court processes. For those facing the aftermath of a loved one's passing, Georgia Wills and Trust, LLC. provides guidance through Probate, the court-supervised process of settling an estate in Georgia. While a Will can streamline this process, the absence of one can lead to complications and increased expenses. The firm helps clients understand how to potentially avoid probate through trusts, jointly owned property, or accounts with beneficiaries, and offers support in navigating the probate process when necessary to settle estates and protect loved ones from debts.
