Understanding Will Creation in Georgia: What Assets Can be Included?

Creating a will is an important step in ensuring that your final wishes are carried out and your loved ones are taken care of after you pass away. In Georgia, there are specific laws and regulations governing what assets can be included in a will. At The Wright Legal Group, we assist Georgia residents with the creation of wills and can provide guidance on the types of assets that can be included.


Real Estate: One of the most common types of assets included in a will is real estate property. This can include primary residences, vacation homes, rental properties, or land. When drafting a will that includes real estate, it is important to clearly identify the property and specify how it should be distributed among beneficiaries.


Personal Property: Personal property such as vehicles, jewelry, artwork, furniture, and other valuable items can also be included in a will. It is essential to list out each item individually and designate who should inherit each piece. This helps to prevent any confusion or disputes among family members after your passing.


Financial Assets: Bank accounts, investments, retirement accounts, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets can also be included in a will. You can specify how these assets should be distributed among beneficiaries or designate specific individuals to receive certain accounts or investments.


Business Interests: If you own a business or have shares in a company, you can include these interests in your will as well. It is important to outline how you would like your business interests to be handled after your death to ensure a smooth transition of ownership.


Digital Assets: In today's digital age, it is crucial to consider including digital assets such as social media accounts, domain names, online photo libraries, and cryptocurrency in your will. Designate someone you trust to manage these digital assets on your behalf or specify how they should be distributed among beneficiaries.


In conclusion, creating a comprehensive will that includes all types of assets ensures that your final wishes are carried out according to your desires. At The Wright Legal Group, we understand the importance of proper estate planning and can assist Georgia residents with drafting wills that encompass all their assets.
