How Probate Affects Real Estate in Fulton County
Probate is the legal process of transferring property ownership after death.

Executors (or personal representatives) are responsible for managing the property, including mortgages, taxes, and maintenance.
Common Challenges Families Face
Inherited homes with an active mortgage.
Risk of foreclosure if payments are missed.
Multiple heirs with different opinions about the property.
Need to sell quickly to cover debts or settle the estate.
Your Options as an Heir or Executor
Keep the home (take over or refinance the mortgage).
