Who inherits without will in Georgia?

In Georgia, if you die without a will, any assets leftover after your debts are paid off will go to your living relatives. If you have no living relatives, then any assets will go to the state. The law sets out which relatives will inherit your estate. If you have a spouse and/or kids, your whole estate goes to them.
