GOOD TO KNOW

• Paper will: the template is set up for signing on paper with everyone physically present.

• Georgia law has no provision letting a will waive an executor's bond, so the form lets you record your bond wishes as a request.

• No tax-planning or trust provisions. If your situation is complex, talk to a Georgia attorney.
