Why You Need an Estate Plan

A successful estate planning process involves various legal documents, orchestrated by a dedicated estate planning attorney. These estate planning documents harmoniously collaborate to provide you with the highest level of healthcare, protection, and rightful benefits during your lifetime. These legal instruments also improve the overall security of your estate as you leave it to your heirs.

If you pass away without a will, Tennessee law dictates that assets be distributed through probate, a court process used to settle estates. Effective planning can help you protect what you own and save your loved ones from a lengthy and complex legal process. It can also limit court fees and other costs, so more of your assets stay with you and your family. If you have young children, you can use your estate plan to make sure their care passes to someone you trust. 

Although it can be complex, estate planning can have a significant effect on the well-being of your loved ones and your estate at large. Creating a comprehensive estate plan with a Nashville estate planning lawyer can help you establish the right estate plan for you.

Our Nashville Estate Planning Services

At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we offer a wide range of services, including setting up powers of attorney, wills, and trusts. We know how complex estate matters can be, and we simplify estate planning by tailoring plans to your needs.

Here’s an overview of our services:

  • Will creation: We can help you build the foundation of your estate plan with a will. This document outlines your funds and assets and directs their distribution. Our team listens to your preferences and turns them into a legally binding document so that they’re followed.

  • Trust establishment: Trusts hold and manage your assets while avoiding court probate processes. We can help you set one up and appoint a trustee, the individual in charge of carrying out the terms of this legal arrangement. 

  • Power of attorney setup: This legal arrangement gives someone the authority to make financial, legal, or medical decisions on your behalf when you can no longer do so. We can help you set it up as you wish.  

  • Living will writing: Outline your preferences for end-of-life medical care or treatments if you become terminally ill or incapacitated. We can work with you to draft a legal document outlining your wishes. 

No matter what your estate needs are, you can rest assured that our law firm can handle whatever you require. We can also handle elder law matters, managing legal details that impact your older years. 

A Comprehensive Estate Planning Process

Our estate planning knowledge enables us to guide you through every step of the process. Here’s an overview of what to expect when you come to us for estate planning:

  1. Consultation: Visit us in our Music Row area office. Our lawyers get to know you and provide advice about the next steps. 

  2. Strategy: We collect more details about your desires and help you build a custom plan that accounts for Tennessee-specific tax and probate laws. 

  3. Execution: Our team drafts legal documents and reviews them with you to confirm that you’re satisfied with them. Then, we handle the formal signing processes to make your plans legally binding.

    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.

    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.

    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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
