The answer is maybe yes or maybe no. A self-proving Georgia will needs a notary. A non-self proving will does not.
But again, don't risk it. Feel free to call us if you're near Atlanta and wish to make out a will. 404-768-3509.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
