Why Should You Have an Estate Plan?
Protect Your Loved Ones
An estate plan makes sure the people you care about are provided for and protected from unnecessary stress. It’s your way of continuing to take care of them, even when you can’t be there.
Avoid Confusion and Conflict
Without a plan, families are often left with uncertainty and difficult decisions. A clear estate plan removes doubt and helps avoid disputes that can strain even the closest relationships.
Secure Your Legacy
Your estate plan serves as a reflection of your life, your hard work, and your values. It allows you to pass down not just assets, but also the story of what mattered most to you.

Atlanta Estate Planning: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between probate and estate planning?
Estate planning is the process of preparing legal documents (such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney) that outline how your assets and decisions should be handled.
Probate, on the other hand, is the court process that happens after someone passes away to distribute assets and settle debts. Accurate, legal estate planning documents can help your loved ones simplify or avoid probate court in Atlanta.
Which is better: a will or an estate plan?
A will is an important part of an estate plan, but on its own, it may not cover everything your family needs. An estate plan goes further by including tools like trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives, giving you more control and protection over your wealth management.
Ultimately, a full estate plan in Atlanta offers greater peace of mind than a will alone.
How much does it cost to create an estate plan in Atlanta?
The cost of an estate plan in Atlanta depends on your specific needs, such as whether you only need a simple will or a more detailed plan with trusts and other documents.
At The Edwards Law Group, we offer personalized estate planning services and can provide a clear estimate after your free consultation.
Can you create an estate plan in Atlanta without a lawyer?
While it’s possible to draft basic documents on your own, doing so can leave gaps that may cause confusion or disputes later. Working with an experienced Atlanta estate planning lawyer helps make sure your documents are legally valid, enforceable, and truly reflect your wishes.
