Civil Law in Jackson County, GA
Northeast Georgia is growing, including the area around Athens. Jackson County saw a 4% growth. The median age for county residents is the mid- to late-30s.
Although everyone can benefit from estate planning or working with an informed probate lawyer, it’s better to get started sooner rather than later. Getting your particular probate needs addressed is critical for your family’s stability. With the aging population, you could easily see more civil law matters in a probate court near you.
The Practice Areas We Deal With
The Wilbanks Law Firm does not just deal with probate litigation.
We have extensive experience helping our clients with that practice area, but we also handle other legal matters — ones that we can help you within the greater Jackson County area.
They include:
Probate Litigation
When money or assets are involved in family dealings, things can be complicated. This is especially true when family members disagree with the division of assets after someone’s passing.
We are a reliable ally in probate matters. Our years of experience can help you with litigation, including complex matters like a “year’s support.”
Estate Planning
Protecting your family’s future is critical. One of the best ways to do that is by creating a will. We can help you draft or update a will.
We are also adept at establishing testamentary trusts for any minor children or establishing the powers of attorney.
Estate Administration
Attorney Dylan Wilbanks is currently serving as the Jackson County county administrator. He has been assigned to the same role in surrounding jurisdictions.
Our firm has extensive experience helping families settle their estate administration needs. We ensure there is a fair distribution of assets, pursuit of claims of the deceased, and the resolution of issues among heirs.
Attorney Wilbanks can also serve as a conservator as needed.

Why Do You Need to Call a Civil Litigation Attorney?
Many people might assume civil litigation is simple and straightforward. For instance, they might assume that their estate would go directly to their children without any issues.
However, probate litigation can be complicated by debts or inheritance laws. If there is a chance that your estate will not transfer like you assumed it would, you should prepare for that eventuality before it is too late.
In all matters civil, an attorney can ensure your needs are handled with care. Not everything should go to trial. With the help of an experienced attorney, you can explore all legal avenues that meet your needs.
Whether you need help with a business matter, a real estate issue, or you are struggling with probate needs, Attorney Dylan Wilbanks is prepared to hear your story.
