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:

Today my wife and I completed (at Crow Estate Planning and Probate) our Will, Living Will, Power of Attorney for Finance and Medical. As a Tennessee CPA for over 20 years (now retired), I’d like to leave this review so that others may benefit. Our experience rating with with Crow Estate Planning and Probate is EXCELLENT. Our legal team was Kyle Shannon, Callie and Julia. This team was competent, courteous, and professional. They made a potentially complex experience “easy” despite multiple minor trusts involved. The charge for professional services rendered was very reasonable. My wife (Denise) and I would like to thank Kyle and his team (Callie and Julia) for a great experience that exceeded our expectations. I will return for legal needs and I will refer family and others to Kyle, Callie and Julia.
I’m very grateful to Mr. Shannon and Callie for the great job they did taking care of my muniment of title. Everyone in Mr. Shannon’s office was exceedingly kind and helpful.
