Georgia probate is handled by the Probate Court (each county has its own) in the county where the decedent was domiciled. Authority to manage estate assets is documented by Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. The full probate process under Georgia Code Title 53 typically takes 6–12 months; can extend with contested wills, but sale of real estate by the personal representative does not have to wait for the entire estate to close.
Not strictly required but common. For most estates with real property in Georgia, retaining counsel is the standard practice because the deed transfer, lien clearance, and any tax considerations are simpler with attorney coordination.
Small estate procedures: No formal threshold; "no administration necessary" possible if all heirs agree and no debts. These provide simplified paths when the estate qualifies — generally limited to personal property, with real estate following standard probate.
Our role: we sign a purchase contract with the personal representative, hold the price firm during the wait for Letters and through any creditor-claim period, then close 7–14 days after authority and clear title are confirmed. We coordinate with your probate attorney and the Georgia title company.
Counties we serve in Georgia: Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, and others — see all Georgia cities we serve.
Our 3-Step GA Probate Sale Process
Coordinate With the GA Personal Representative
We meet with the executor or administrator, walk through the property, and review the estate's posture — outstanding debts, any contested claims, beneficiary alignment. We can assess remotely if the PR is out of state.
Written Cash Offer With GA-Specific Probate Timing
You get a written offer in 24–48 hours. The contract anticipates the 6–12 months; can extend with contested wills probate timeline and holds price firm during the wait. We do not require court approval of the sale unless your attorney determines it's needed under Georgia law.
Close With Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration in Hand
Title company confirms Letters and clear title, settles any liens or estate debts at closing, and wires proceeds to the estate account. The PR then distributes to beneficiaries per the will or Georgia intestacy rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need court approval to sell Georgia probate real estate?
It depends. Personal representatives operating under Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration with full powers (granted by the will or by statute) generally do not need separate court approval for routine sales. Dependent administrations, will contests, or specific Georgia statutes may require court approval — your attorney will confirm.
How long does Georgia probate take from filing to Letters?
6–12 months; can extend with contested wills. The wait for Letters specifically is typically 2–8 weeks after filing depending on whether the probate is informal or formal, contested or uncontested. Real-estate sales can be signed in expectation of Letters and closed once issued.
What if the estate is being challenged?
A will contest or dependent administration adds time and may require court approval of any real-estate sale. We work in both postures — uncontested estates close fastest, contested estates can still close once the court has resolved the dispute or approved the sale.
Do you buy in all Georgia counties?
Yes — including Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, Clayton, and other counties across the state. Our purchase process is the same statewide; we use a Georgia title company experienced with probate closings.
Will I owe estate or inheritance tax in Georgia?
Most states (including Georgia) repealed their estate tax in recent years. Federal estate tax applies only to estates over the federal exemption (~$13.6M in 2024). Georgia inheritance tax considerations vary by beneficiary class in some states — your attorney will confirm based on the estate.
