- WillsProbate is the process of administering a deceased person’s estate (i.e. property and debt) after their death through court processes and proceedings. The law is substantially different whether or not someone has a Last Will and Testament. They are also substantially different if someone owns real property. When a loved one dies you need to speak with an attorney to understand your right and responsibilities. In many cases our office is able to formulate plans that allow you and your family to avoid probate proceedings; this is our goal. However, if we can not avoid the process we are trained and experienced to make the process as seamless and efficient as possible.
- Power of AttorneyThroughout Tennessee, loved ones and family members are regularly taken advantage of by people they trust. Usually, these circumstances arise in a financial context when a person abuses another’s trust and that abuse results in money or assets being wrongfully transferred. Sometimes people use powers of attorney to exploit others. Other times they merely exert some form of inappropriate influence. Do not be embarrassed or afraid to seek help even if the exploited person is you! Please contact our office today so we can discuss your legal options and how to best protect you, your loved ones, and assets.
