The first 30 days

Before anyone asks you for a dollar, don't do these.

Most of the bad advice families get in the first month is profitable for someone else. Here's what to hold off on while we talk.

✕

Sign any “cash for the house” offer a stranger puts in front of you.

✕

List the house with a realtor before probate clears.

✕

Stop paying the mortgage, taxes, or insurance.

✕

Let one sibling “just handle it” without paperwork.

If this sounds like you

These are the families who call us every week.

You're not alone in this, and you're not the first to feel exactly what you're feeling. Three of the calls we hear most, condensed so no family can be identified.

“

My husband passed. The house, the bank accounts, everything is in his name. The first attorney I called wanted a $4,000 retainer before he’d even tell me what was involved. I haven’t even buried him yet.

Here's where we start

A free 15-minute call. No retainer. If the house has equity, you may not need one at all: we can cover the attorney’s fee and get repaid when the house sells. Either way, we tell you what probate looks like for your situation and what an attorney should fairly cost.

“

Dad passed three months ago. The mortgage is in his name. The bank called yesterday. They said they’re starting foreclosure. I don’t have the will. I don’t have $3,000 for a lawyer.

Here's where we start

Federal law protects you from the mortgage company calling the loan due just because your dad passed. Stopping foreclosure on an inherited home is solvable, but the next seven days matter. Call us today. We’ll walk through what to say to the servicer, and if the house has equity, we can cover the lawyer so the $3,000 isn’t what stops you.

“

I don’t know who to trust. Strangers keep calling about the house. The lawyers I called wanted money upfront. I’m scared I’m going to make this worse.

Here's where we start

You’re not making it worse by waiting one more day to call us. You’ll make it worse by signing the first cash offer or hiring the wrong attorney. The 15-minute call costs you nothing, and what you learn on it is what most families pay $500 to figure out.

Before & after the call

No miracle promises. Just fewer wrong turns.

Less chaos, and a real human in your corner who's done this a hundred times.

Before

You don’t know if there’s a will.

After

You know in 48 hours, with a clear next step.

Before

The mortgage is still being charged. The house sits empty.

After

You know exactly who to call and what to file.

Before

Three siblings, three opinions, zero progress.

Probate isn't a problem to solve. It's a process to manage, and the difference is who's standing next to you when it starts.

Honest answers

The questions families actually ask us.

Are you a law firm?
No. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. We help Georgia families understand their situation without the legalese, then refer them to a vetted Georgia probate attorney. Conversations with us are not protected by attorney-client privilege.
How much does this cost?
The 15-minute consultation is free. If the house has equity, we can cover the attorney fees and court costs up front, so you pay nothing out of pocket; we’re repaid at closing. If it isn’t a fit, you pay the attorney directly, and we’ll tell you what a fair fee looks like first.
Can you help pay for probate?
Yes, if the house has equity. We can front the probate attorney’s fees, court costs, and the work to get the house ready to sell. You pay nothing out of pocket, there are no monthly payments, and we’re repaid from the closing. How we’re paid is disclosed in writing before you sign anything.
Do I have to live in Georgia?
No. A lot of the families we help live out of state. The house is in Georgia, so Georgia probate law applies. We handle the Georgia side; you can be in Brooklyn, Houston, or Kingston when you call.
What if there’s no will?
Then Georgia’s intestate succession law decides who inherits, and in what order. You’ll typically need Letters of Administration before you can do much with the house. We’ll walk you through it.
What if siblings disagree?
That’s most families, honestly. We’ve seen worse than yours. We help you find the path that doesn’t require everyone to agree on every detail before you can start.
What if there’s still a mortgage?
Federal law (the Garn-St. Germain Act) protects heirs from the bank calling the loan due just because the borrower died. You can typically keep paying the mortgage while probate plays out. We’ll explain what to say when you call the servicer.

Whatever your version of this is, start here.

The call is free. We won't ask for money and we won't pitch you. We'll tell you what's actually going on, and what step one looks like.
