Why is Atlanta open for estate planning citations?
Atlanta estate planning runs through five probate courts in five counties, and each one works differently. Fulton County Probate Court downtown handles the city. Cobb County Probate Court handles Marietta and the northwest. Gwinnett handles Lawrenceville and the northeast corridor. Alpharetta and Johns Creek have some of the highest net worth per household in the Southeast, and their estate searches are answered by national content, not Atlanta firms. A firm with county-specific probate pages and content for high-net-worth families in North Fulton and Gwinnett competes with almost no one for the queries that matter.
