In Georgia, if you are the personal representative of a deceased person’s estate and the estate is going through probate, you are required to give notice to the deceased person’s creditors.

This is done by publishing a creditor’s notice in Georgia, in a newspaper in the county where the deceased person lived.

Here are the steps to publish a creditor notice in Georgia:

1. Obtain a list of creditors
   Review the deceased person’s financial records, including:
   • Bank statements
   • Credit card statements
   • Bills
2. Contact known creditors to inform them of the deceased person’s passing and provide them with information about the probate proceedings.
   • Credit card companies
   • Utility companies
   • Medical providers
3. Choose a newspaper that is:
   • Considered “general circulation”
   • Located in the county where the deceased person lived
4. Draft the creditor’s notice, which must include:
   • The deceased person’s name
   • Deceased person’s date of death
   • The name and address of the personal representative
   • The date, time, and location of the hearing to present claims
5. Publish the notice
   • Arrange to have the creditor’s notice published in the newspaper you have selected
   • The notice must be published once a week for four consecutive weeks
6. Keep proof of publication
   • A copy of the notice
   • Proof of publication, such as an affidavit from the newspaper

It’s important to comply with Georgia’s requirements for giving notice to creditors, as failure to do so can result in liability for the estate. If you’re unsure about the requirements for publishing a creditor’s notice in Georgia, it’s recommended that you consult with a probate attorney.
