Estate planning is easy to put off. Individuals often hesitate to think about what will happen after they’re gone. You may feel that it can wait until later or that it is only for the wealthy. However, an estate plan is an essential way to give yourself a voice. It helps people as they grow older and helps their families after they pass away.
An estate plan is useful for anyone. Crow Estate Planning & Probate provides legal advice and document drafting to guide you through the process. We focus on this area of law, which gives us the knowledge to handle every detail smoothly. During estate planning in Franklin, TN, we act compassionately, understanding the difficult emotions that may arise.
A plan helps your loved one navigate various situations down the road. It’s beneficial for reasons like:
An estate plan includes several legal documents. The pieces included in your plan vary depending on your situation. At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we help you determine your needs and draft legal documents, including the following.
A will lays out your wishes for property and asset distribution. You can also use it to appoint someone to manage your assets (executor) and name guardians for minor children.
Trusts give greater control over asset distribution and enable you to avoid probate processes for greater financial privacy. These legal arrangements come in various types, allowing you to leave assets to loved ones, charities, and special needs children.
If you are unable to make decisions for yourself, medical power of attorney gives someone you trust the ability to make health-related decisions on your behalf. These decisions may include permission to operate or withdraw a feeding tube.
This legal arrangement lets you name who you would like to make financial decisions during your lifetime if you are unable to do so. With this power, a loved one could complete activities like filing taxes and paying bills.
This document gives advance medical instructions, including the withholding of a feeding tube and the donation of organs. It takes effect if someone is going to die.

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.
