A: If you are asking about the court-costs, such as filing fees to initiate the dispossessory action, contact your local clerk of court.

The cost of attorney assistance will vary depending on the circumstances of each attorney you ask.

Be very careful if trying to do this yourself. There are several technical requirements you must meet in order to secure an executable writ, and if you miss a step, you will have wasted time and money. The statutory procedures are laid out in OCGA 44-7-49 through OCGA 44-7-59, but your jurisdiction may have additional requirements to fulfill.

If you cannot afford full-fledged representation to accomplish your goals with this, perhaps you could consult with a local attorney on a limited engagement, merely to provide you with a step-by-step procedure for you to complete yourself.
