What DeKalb County Families Tell Us
Many DeKalb families have deep roots — homes owned for decades, parents aging in the house they raised their children in. A home like that is often the family’s biggest asset, and the one most likely to get stuck in probate without a plan.
Your Probate Court
In Georgia, estates, guardianships and conservatorships go through the probate court in the county where the person lives (or lived).
