While grieving the loss of a parent, spouse or other loved one, the last thing you might be thinking of is settling the deceased’s estate. But the probate process cannot be ignored, especially if you have been named the executor.

They must collect any outstanding assets, pay off the deceased’s debts and distribute the remainder to the deceased’s heirs according to the terms of the will. As the executor, Georgia law allows you to hire an attorney to represent you. As your lawyer, William Witcher will handle the necessary paperwork and filings. He will minimize delays and help you complete the job as quickly as possible.

Mr. Witcher represents executors, heirs, beneficiaries and other parties in estate litigation. He will firmly defend your rights and seek a fair and sustainable solution, whether that happens in negotiations or in probate court.
