Not necessarily; however, to be safe, consult with a local attorney.

Re: Georgia Wills

There is no legal requirement to do so, if there are no debts and all the heirs at law agree on the distribution of the estate.

However, there are certain assets (real estate, stocks and bonds) which require probate as a practical matter, because they demand a legally appointed representative to pass title.

No, but since you have not explained why you have asked, we cannot tell you if "no" is a good (or bad) idea in your case.
