If your loved one was not domiciled in Georgia at the time of their death, you may file the decedent's will in any Georgia County where they owned property.
Complications can arise during the process that will add time to the schedule. For example, a party may petition the probate court if the will is not being followed. All being said, the probate process has an average range of 6 to 12 months.
