Forms

Form: Will for Information Purposes Only

In Georgia, anyone in possession of an original Will after the Will-maker’s death, must file it with the appropriate Probate Court. HOWEVER, that does not mean you must file a Petition to Probate the Will. The following form may be used to file the Will for information purposes only.
