Specific Instructions 1. This form is to be used when filing a petition for an order declaring no administration necessary, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 53-2-40 et seq., and should only be used when the decedent died intestate (without a will). 2. Unanimous consent of the heirs at law to the agreed upon division is required according to O.C.G.A. § 53-2-40 (b). 3. Signatures of heirs who acknowledge service must be sworn to before a notary public or the clerk of any probate court of this State. It is not necessary that all acknowledgments appear on the same page. An attorney at law may acknowledge service on behalf of an heir; however, the attorney must certify that he or she currently represents that heir with regard to the pending matter and, in order to comply with O.C.G.A. § 53-11-6, the attorney's signature must be sworn to as provided above. With regard to a power of attorney, the attorney-in-fact may acknowledge service on behalf of the grantor of the power, provided that the power of attorney grants such authority, the signature of the attorney-in-fact is attested, a copy of the power of attorney is attached, and the attorney-in-fact certifies that the copy is a true copy and is still in effect. It is not necessary that all acknowledgments appear on the same page. 4. O.C.G.A. § 53-11-2 provides that a party to a probate proceeding who is not sui juris must be represented by a guardian provided that the Court may appoint a guardian ad litem or determine that the natural guardian, guardian, conservator, or testamentary guardian has no conflict and may serve. Should a guardian ad litem be necessary because a party is not sui juris, use GPCSF Supplement 1. 5. O.C.G.A. § 53-11-2 (b) provides that when a party to a proceeding in the probate court is a post deceased heir whose estate has no personal representative, such deceased heir’s estate may be represented in the proceeding by a guardian ad litem. 6. A signed original agreement setting out the heirs’ agreed upon distribution of the estate must be attached to the petition. The legal description included in the agreement must sufficiently identify the property in order to pass good title. 7. Paragraph 4 of this form requires sufficient factual information for the Court to conclude that those listed in paragraph 3 of this form include each and every heir of the decedent and that there are not additional heirs of the same or closer degree according to O.C.G.A. § 53-2-1. These facts must allow the Court to rule out the possibility that there may be other heirs of the same or closer degree who have not been listed. Provide the date of death of any deceased heirs and the name of the deceased heir’s personal representative if applicable. The personal representative of a post deceased heir is authorized to consent on behalf of that heir. O.C.G.A. § 53-2-40 (c). A person’s heirs are determined at the time of that person’s death.\", \"slug\": \"s06-ga-no-administration-conditions\", \"source_url\": \"https://www.gasupreme.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/GPCSF9_0721.pdf\"}, {\"checked_on\": \"2026-10-22\", \"next_check_on\": \"2027-01-22\", \"publisher\": \"Supreme Court of Georgia\", \"quote\": \"As to the estate of said decedent: [Initial all that apply] _______ (a) The estate of decedent owes no debts. _______ (b) The estate of decedent owes no debts, other than an outstanding security deed held by (complete name(s) and address(es) including zip codes must be provided for each creditor so listed) _________________________________ ___________________________________________, who must be properly served in this matter unless such holder has consented in writing below to the petition. _______ (c) The estate of decedent owes no debts, other than to such creditor(s) as have consented in writing to the petition, as shown on the consent below. _______ (d) The estate of decedent owes no debts, other than (complete name(s) and address(es), including zip codes, must be provided for each creditor so listed) those listed immediately below who have not consented in writing and must be served as provided by law: ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________\", \"slug\": \"s06-ga-no-administration-creditors\", \"source_url\": \"https://www.gasupreme.us/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/GPCSF9_0721.pdf\"}]",
