Estates

Filing Documents

In an effort to limit person to person contact in our Estates Division, we recommend submitting your filings by mail.  If you are unable to do so, the court will accept in-person filings. 

Prior to arriving to the courthouse for your appointment please see the list below.             

  • Your filing will need to be ready to file, including signatures being properly notarized and your filing filled out completely.
  • No one will be available to assist with completing forms.
  • We do not have a notary.
  • Filing fee will be required at the time of filing. Refer to the Court Fees section on our website for further information regarding fees.
    • Cash, check, money order and credit card are all accepted. If paying by check/money order, please make payable to Cobb County Probate Court.
    • A $2.00 or 3.5% service fee , whichever is higher, will be assessed on all credit card transactions ($5.00 cap on all Estate filings). This service fee goes directly to nCourt; Probate Court’s payment processing vendor. All fees are non-refundable.

If you need help with Probate forms or not sure which form to use, please view our informational flyer  (Puede Ver el Informacion Flyer) about the Cobb County Probate Clinic.

Administering Oaths

If you are appointed as a fiduciary by our court and wish to have your oath administered online, you should submit your request to do so at probatecourt@cobbcounty.org. Oaths can be administered virtually.  Once your request is received, you will be contacted by court personnel to schedule the appointment.
