Are there any recurring fees involved?
No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.
When people create their wills, they generally name one or more individuals to supervise the distribution of their assets. The person who fills this role is called an executor. Sometimes, though, the chosen executor is unable, unfit, or unwilling to accept the responsibility. In other situations, the deceased dies intestate (without a will). No matter the reason, if there is no executor, the probate court will appoint an administrator to manage the probate estate.
Georgia customarily uses the term "personal representative" to refer to both executors and administrators, but can get more specific when it comes to conveying title to real estate. During probate, the court may direct an administrator to sell real property to pay the estate's debts or to consolidate the decedent's assets for distribution to any heirs.
An administrator's deed, executed by the appointed personal representative, includes relevant information about the decedent and the probate case, in addition to the state and local requirements. To transfer title to a buyer, record the completed administrator's deed, along with any necessary supporting documents, with the real property records of the appropriate county.
Consult an attorney with questions about the administrator's deed, or with any other issues related to probate in Georgia.

World class forms, great for someone like me that has no clue what I'm doing! Always better to let the pros do it than think one knows it all and gets themselves in trouble!
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The process for obtaining document itself was easy, and the included guide and example are great! rnI do have an issue with the format itself, though. The form has pre-defined text boxes, which cannot be altered without partially rebuilding the entire document. For the 'property description' field on the Mineral Deed form, the text box is not large enough for the rather lengthy legal description entered on my original plat.rnFortunately, I have a copy of Adobe Pro, so I have been able to re-build the doc to accommodate this short-coming.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on our legal form. We're pleased to hear that you found the process for obtaining the document and the included guide beneficial.
We understand and appreciate your concern regarding the formatting and size limitations of certain fields, especially the 'property description' field. Our forms are designed to adhere to specific formatting requirements that are often mandated for legal compliance. Making direct alterations to the document can result in them becoming non-conforming, which is why we advise customers to use an exhibit page when their legal description is extensive or does not fit.
