A lot goes into making sure you and your loved ones are ready for the future. Without adequate preparation, when you pass, your loved ones could be facing more than just grief. Not having important documents completed, like a last will and testament, can make the process of receiving their inheritance more challenging.
While creating a will is often at the top of an individual’s list when thinking about preparing for the future, a trust can also guide how assets will be distributed. Crow Estate Planning & Probate is here to walk you through the process and ensure you and your family avoid the costly, time-consuming probate process.
A trust is a financial tool that allows you to set some of your money aside for a third party to manage it on behalf of another party. There are several individuals involved in the creation and management of a trust, including:
Depending on your needs and goals, there are several different kinds of trusts that you can create:
Trusts even offer the benefit of being either:
No matter which type you decide is right for you, you can feel confident knowing you can place tangible property, investments, and bank accounts in a trust and know it will be safe.
Trusts will also help you and your loved ones skip the probate process, which is a court-supervised proceeding that occurs when an individual dies without a last will and testament. A trust can avoid this because the assets and beneficiaries are listed, and everything is passed directly to the beneficiaries after the grantor’s death.
At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we are here to guide you through the estate planning process and provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that you, your family and your future generations will be ready for the future. When you pass, your assets will be distributed exactly as you intended and laid out in the trust.
In Springfield, Tennessee, the most commonly used trusts are revocable and irrevocable. While both types of trusts allow your family to avoid the probate process, a revocable trust allows the grantor to make any amendments or changes to the trust as they deem necessary. Meanwhile, an irrevocable trust won’t be able to be altered. In other words, once you create it, the assets can’t be removed.
If you are interested in establishing a trust, our law firm can help you get started and ensure all details are exactly as you intended. We’ll do what it takes to ensure your assets are protected for your heirs and beneficiaries. Once you create your trust, you can experience peace of mind knowing it won’t be subjected to probate and the terms will remain private.

I can’t say enough about Crow Estate Planning & Probate. They did an excellent job explaining and drafting my estate plan. I would highly recommend.
Professional above all expectations. Every question asked answered to understanding. Took time to tailor my request to the exact detail. Documents were explained to the details there in before signing. Super friendly and not showing sign of disconcerting attitude. I respect this firm and they have my “complete” trust.
We are very happy with the services provided and will recommend to family and friends.

Where do I begin? I truly can’t say enough nice things about Crow Estate Planning & Probate and Alexandra Hulme, without her and everyone around her, I can truly say I don’t know where I would be today. Like many after losing my mother, I was lost, in a dark place and things weren’t happening how my mother had planned in her trust and will. Before waiting too long, I retained Alexandra’s services and she took me through the process step-by-step. Something that I never thought I could afford or I’d have to do. She knew I wasn’t asking her to do anything more than complete my mother’s last wishes. She did just that. They did it because they’re passionate about what they do. Communication was A+. She never left me hanging. I know family means a lot to her/them. I am indebted to her and these people forever. If you need help, call her today. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Alexandra from the bottom of my heart.
I was referred to John by a fellow real estate investor when I needed guidance on structuring a couple of LLCs. From the start, he made the process incredibly smooth and straightforward. John was consistently responsive, thorough in his explanations, and showed a genuine commitment to getting everything completed on time—even working late to accommodate my schedule while I was operating from Hawaii, several time zones away. His mix of professionalism, attention to detail, and approachable demeanor made the entire experience seamless. I’m grateful to have him as a resource and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable attorney.
Bridget and Thomas were very professional and knowledgeable in responding to my needs. Also, they were very organized and easy to work with.
This firm has done several things for me and real estate clients. Most recently setting up a TIST (Tennessee Investment Services Trust). And redoing my Will, Medical Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Directive. Appreciated their understanding of all of the intricacies of each document. Their timely communication and prompt service.
