Nashville Elder Law Attorneys

Planning for your future or caring for an aging loved one involves complex legal and financial decisions. At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, our Nashville elder law firm helps families navigate the challenges of aging with compassion, clarity, and experience. From Medicaid planning to conservatorships and guardianships, we provide the legal guidance you need to protect your assets, secure quality care, and maintain dignity.

Understanding Elder Law in Tennessee

Elder law addresses the legal, financial, and healthcare needs of aging individuals and their families. Unlike general estate planning, elder law focuses on issues that arise as people age, including long-term care costs, government benefits eligibility, capacity concerns, and protection from exploitation. Our Nashville elder law attorneys help you develop strategies to address these challenges while preserving your assets and maintaining quality of life.

Medicaid Planning and Asset Protection

As Tennessee’s Medicaid program, TennCare provides coverage for long-term care, but strict income and asset limits make qualification challenging without proper planning. Our attorneys help Nashville families understand eligibility requirements, implement asset protection strategies, and navigate the application process.

Effective Medicaid planning may involve establishing irrevocable trusts, transferring assets within legal guidelines, converting countable assets to exempt assets, and timing applications to maximize benefits while minimizing penalties. We work closely with families to develop personalized strategies that protect assets while ensuring access to necessary care.

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.

Travis Henry

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.

This firm has done several things for me and real estate clients. Most recently setting up a TIST (Tennessee Investment Services Trust).
