• Do I need to probate my late wife's will before I can transfer a joined LLC property to my name?

  Asked in Lawrenceville, GA | April 30, 2026

  My late wife, who had a simple will, jointly (50/50) owned an LLC (a single house) with me. Do I need to probate her will before I can transfer the warranty deed to my name? There is no debt, no lien on the house, no complex family issue. If I do need to proceed with the probate process, where can I hire an attorney, and how much should I budget for this process?

• I was involved in an accident over 1yr ago and I was at fault and now I am dealing with her insurance. What should I do?

  Asked in McDonough, GA | December 10, 2025
