There are a number of state-specific forms you may need when going through the probate process.

General GA Forms

In Georgia, each county has a local probate court. If you are using EstateExec and you enter the decedent's county of legal residence on the Decedent tab, you will see a direct link to the appropriate court here, usually with more detailed information about the court than the limited search link in the preceding sentence.

Below you will find links that allow you to download and use some of the more common GA probate forms (you may want to check with your local court for form preferences):

  1. Petition to Probate Will in Solemn Form (Form GPCSF-5) - Apply for probate with a will that names you as executor (also includes Certificate of Notice and other forms)
  2. Petition to Probate Will in Solemn Form and for Letters of Administration with Will Annexed (Form GPCSF-7) - Apply for probate with a will that does not name you first choice for executor (also includes Certificate of Notice and other forms)
  3. Petition for Letters of Administration (Form GPCSF-3) - Apply for probate when there is NO will (also includes Petition Notice, Certificate of Notice, and other forms)
  4. Will Witness Affidavit (Form GPCSF-Supplement-6) - Attach to Petition to Probate if there is a will but it is not notarized
  5. Oath (Form GPCSF-Supplement-4) - Include with Petition
  6. Request Waiver of Bond (Form GPCSF-32) - Request permission to opt out of obtaining an executor bond
  7. Petition for Family Support (Form GPCSF-10) - Request permission provide support to surviving family from estate funds
  8. Inventory (Cherokee County) - There is no statewide form for inventory; consider attaching the EstateExec Inventory Report
  9. Permission to Sell Property (Form GPCSF-13) - Request permission from court to sell something
  10. Petition for Discharge (Form GPCSF-33) - Inform court that estate has been settled and you are done

See GA Probate Forms for a more complete list of forms that may be required in certain situations.
