Common Questions

Answers to What
Families Ask Us

Estate planning is the process of legally arranging how your assets will be managed and distributed during your lifetime and after your death. It also addresses who will care for your minor children and make decisions if you become incapacitated. Without a plan, Georgia's default laws — not your wishes — determine what happens.

A will takes effect at your death and goes through probate. A trust is a separate legal entity that can hold and transfer assets during your lifetime and after death, often avoiding probate entirely. Both have distinct advantages depending on your situation — our attorneys will help you determine the right structure for your family.

Absolutely. Estate planning isn't only about wealth — it's about naming guardians for your children, designating who makes medical decisions for you, and ensuring your wishes are honored. Anyone with dependents, property, or preferences about their care should have a plan in place.

Probate is the court-supervised process of administering a deceased person's estate — either according to their will or, if there is none, under Georgia's intestacy laws. Our team has worked extensively with all metro Atlanta Probate Courts and can guide executors and administrators through each step of the process.

If you die without a will (intestate), Georgia law determines who inherits your assets and who raises your minor children — which may not reflect your wishes at all. Having a properly drafted will ensures your family is protected according to your intentions.

Digital assets include email accounts, social media profiles, cloud storage, digital photos, music libraries, and any online financial accounts. Without proper planning, these can be inaccessible or lost entirely after your death. We help ensure your digital assets are inventoried and handled according to your wishes.

The timeline varies based on the complexity of your situation. After an initial consultation, our team begins drafting your documents and works with you through a review process before final execution. We work efficiently without sacrificing thoroughness, and we accommodate your schedule throughout.

The firm was founded by Kim Hoipkemier and Cassandra Ceron, both of whom bring a decade of experience in estate planning and estate administration. The broader team includes additional attorneys and staff — all committed to delivering the same standard of thorough, personalized service to every client.
