A will lets individuals decide what they want to do with their property and other financial assets after they pass. This document makes the inheritance process much easier and cheaper, reducing the time spent working through the details in the court system.
People of any age benefit from having a will to help secure the future of their assets. At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, our legal team will work with you to discuss your final wishes and create a strong legal document laying them out in detail.
Tennessee law declares those who die without a will “intestate.” If this situation occurs, the law will determine how to distribute assets rather than letting you decide. Having a will provides many advantages, including:
Probate is the legal process of distributing a deceased person’s assets to living heirs. In Tennessee, this process lasts about 8 to 10 months, even in simple probate cases, so it’s best to streamline it as much as possible by laying out your wishes in a will.
Some scenarios enable you to avoid probate or reduce the time spent on the process. Any assets with joint ownership or an agreement of transfer at the time of death will not pass through probate. In Tennessee, estates under $50,000 can go through a special shortened process.
Other scenarios complicate the probate process, including heirs who are minors or disputes over the inheritance. Additional factors influencing the procedures include real estate or motor vehicle ownership.
Crow Estate Planning & Probate has a team ready to provide legal advice and draft a strong will. Here are the services we offer.
We devote time to getting to know you and your needs, including your family situation, assets, and goals for distribution. Then, we use our estate planning focus to advise you on the best strategies for your situation. During the advising process, we’ll discuss applicable estate planning laws and strategies that may help minimize taxes.
Once we understand your wishes, we draft a will using precise language to avoid potential disputes or invalidation. This document is less likely to be contested in court because we understand the legal process and the requirements for an effective will. We also guide you through signing and witnessing procedures to make the document legally binding.
Our team serves as a long-term partner in your estate planning journey. We’re willing to work with you through any revisions after significant life events, such as marital or familial changes.
