You cannot use the small estate affidavit because you are over the $15,000 limit (GA Code § 7-1-239(2)). You need to open full probate in the county where the decedent resided or owned property.

It's for a retirement plan.

Dang. That is going to cost too much money that I don't have right now.

Sorry. You can try this on your own by visiting the Georgia Supreme Court's website for probate court forms. This isn’t going to be all of them, but it’s a good start. First, you must apply to be executor, then serve notice on all interested parties. Once appointed, you can liquidate the retirement.
