Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia

The answer is "it depends." Generally speaking, as long as the NY will complies with the GA requirements AND if nothing has changed in your life, then you may not need a new will. How long ago was the will made? Have you had any life changing events (birth, marriage, divorce, adoption or changes in the ownership or disposition of property) since that time? Your relocation would suggest yes. .

The only way to know is to have your NY will reviewed by a GA lawyer and to have a new GA will made if necessary

Maybe, maybe not. I'd need to read the will and talk with you. It may be valid (and may not be). Even if its valid, it may lack language that would simplify probate in Georgia. If you are in or near metro Atlanta, feel free to contact me.

I am licensed in New York and Georgia. As in most states, there are differences between the statutes. However, the cost of having an attorney review the will shouldn't be significant.
