Estate planning gives you the ability to decide both who will benefit from your estate, and who will serve your estate in fiduciary roles after your death. Putting these plans in place now is one of the best gifts you can give your family in the future. If you don’t create your own estate plan, Tennessee Law determines who receives your assets.

Someone who passes without a will is referred to as intestate. Tennessee law determines how an intestate individual’s assets should be distributed. The law lays out the next of kin who will receive a portion of the decedent’s estate.

We make the process for estate planning easy and informative.
