Probate

At Kimmey & Murphy, P.C. we have decades of experience appearing in Probate Courts all over Metro Atlanta and Northern Georgia. We are intimately familiar with the probate judges, the courtroom staff, and all of the related laws and procedures. This is why we are able to successfully navigate the probate process to ensure that our clients’ cases are completed quickly and efficiently.

In addition to providing technical expertise and efficiency, our friendly office staff and professional Atlanta probate lawyer work hard to ensure that our clients receive the highest level of customer service at each step of the process so that when the matter is concluded our clients will be completely satisfied with their overall experience.

Trust/Probate Litigation

A client speaking with a lawyer regarding probate in Atlanta, GA.After a loved one passes away, when assets need to be managed and distributed, disputes often arise between Beneficiaries and Trustees of a Trust or Heirs and Executors of a Will. We realize that misunderstandings and arguments can evolve into legal battles which may result in complex Probate litigation and trial. Because we have been in this business for over 20 years, we have amassed a great deal of experience in these types of situations. Many lawyers have no experience in trust and probate work and most trust and probate lawyers have no experience in trial work. At Kimmey & Murphy, P.C., we are experienced litigators with a vast bank of knowledge of the Probate Courts. Therefore, we can offer something that few other firms in Georgia can. Namely, the ability to help you plan your estate, and the ability to handle disputes in estates should they arise.

In these types of cases, we are unparalleled among the legal community in the depth of our knowledge and experience. We have the resources and training to utilize alternative dispute resolution techniques in an attempt to mediate and settle disputes before they become full-blown lawsuits. For these reasons, we are often able to obtain very favorable settlements for our clients without the necessity of a trial.

However, when the parties are unable to settle a matter, we are trained, experienced, and aggressive trial attorneys who have the unique expertise to litigate all manner of Probate disputes. We realize that family disputes and probate litigation can become very intense and emotional. Accordingly, our lawyers are prepared to be relentless through each stage of litigation – from the pleading stages, through discovery and motion practice, to trial preparation and conducting trials, and if needed, to mounting an effective appeal. At every step of the process, we vigorously represent our client’s interests with diligence, competence, and tenacity.
