The death of a loved one causes emotional hardship as you think about moving forward in life without someone close to you. As you mourn your departed family member, you face many responsibilities and decisions, particularly navigating the probate process. Hiring a lawyer makes this process easier.
At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we assist you through the complex details of distributing an estate. We also approach your situation with empathy and do what it takes to help care for your family as you navigate loss and stressful legal situations.
Probate is the legal process you must go through when your loved one leaves behind assets to distribute. This process decides where the assets will go. In Tennessee, this process generally takes about 8 to 10 months, but it may take even longer.
If your loved one has worked with a lawyer to create a will, the probate process is often much faster and easier. If they have passed away without a will (“intestate”), the court works to distribute assets according to state laws. More complex family situations add difficulty to the process.
Besides the presence of a will, various other factors determine how long probate takes. The most common reason for lengthy proceedings is disputes over the value and distribution of assets. Factors like a complex estate, unusual assets, or creditor claims may also lengthen processes.
An attorney works with your family so you can focus on other things rather than struggling through legal details. A lawyer provides many benefits, including:

I cannot recommend Thomas Steelman highly enough! From the very start, he made the entire process of setting up our estate trust absolutely painless. His expertise and clear explanations turned what I expected to be a daunting task into a smooth and stress-free experience.
Not only did he handle every aspect of our estate trust with great attention to detail, but he (and law firm colleagues) also took care of transferring over our home deeds so we didn’t have to deal with the hassle of going to the county office ourselves. That alone saved us so much time and stress!
I honestly thought the process was going to cost a small fortune, but I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was. Most importantly, though, Thomas gave us peace of mind knowing that our hard-earned assets are protected and will go exactly where we want them—without placing unnecessary burdens on our loved ones.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional estate trust attorney, Thomas and team are the ones to trust. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
