Atlanta Estate Planning Attorneys

For gay and lesbian couples in Atlanta and throughout Georgia, proper estate planning is crucial and requires competent and experienced legal guidance. Proactive legal planning is the best way to ensure that one partner’s wishes are followed in the event of untimely death.

According to Georgia law, a domestic partnership agreement is not enough to ensure one’s assets remain the property of a life partner. Unless you have retained the services of an experienced legal team like Kitchens, New & Cleghorn and have filed the necessary paperwork, assets are distributed according to Georgia law, which favor biological relatives over domestic partners.

Our trusted legal experts will make sure that your wishes are followed precisely and that the property you and your partner have worked so hard for is allocated according to your instructions.

The Top Estate Planning Attorneys in Atlanta

Our attorneys specialize in all aspects of estate planning for Georgia’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender couples. Here’s a breakdown of the types of estate planning we assist with:

  • Wills: We draft last wills with clients to ensure their wishes concerning dependents, funeral arrangements, and the distribution of certain types of property are legally established and protected.
  • Trusts: Our clients in Atlanta often find that trusts are the best way to manage their estate. The primary advantages of trusts are that they avoid the probate process and minimize the cost of property distribution.
