Living Will Attorneys in Tennessee & Kentucky

It’s not uncommon for someone to be admitted to a hospital in Kentucky or Tennessee and be alive but unconscious or unable to make or communicate decisions about their own care. These situations can become complex, especially when well-meaning family members disagree about medical treatments and end-of-life care. 

A living will is a legal document that ensures that, should you ever be unable to provide your own input in end-of-life decisions, your wishes about organ donation and intubation are known and respected. The living will lawyers at Crow Estate Planning & Probate can help you create a valid living will, offering you and your loved ones peace of mind. 

Our Living Will Services

Our attorneys focus only on estate and business planning, so they can execute a living will in a way that best protects your interests. Our living will lawyers can review your preferences for medical treatment in different situations and the most common issues that arise when someone is no longer able to make their own medical decisions. 

For example, if someone is in a coma with only weeks to live, a living will ensures there is no ambiguity about that person’s wishes. Without a living will, if family members disagree on next steps, then the case may have to be decided by a judge. 

At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we keep your living will and estate plan up to date. Whether you have married, had children, divorced, moved, or undergone another major change, we can continually review these directives to ensure they still reflect your needs. If circumstances change, we can help you execute a new living will.

We Are Your Long-Term Partners for Estate Planning

One of the most valuable reasons to consult with our team is to gain clarity. A living will can change, but it is fairly inflexible and does not cover all contingencies. We can help you review aspects of estate planning you may not have considered before, such as: 

  • Last Will and Testament: This is a document that disposes your property after your death and appoints someone to manage your estate in your absence. When our lawyers work with you to create a will, we are thorough in our quest to understand your circumstances and internalize your values, allowing us to create a will that meets your precise needs.
  • Trusts: We can integrate your living will into a total estate plan, which might involve creating a living will and trust. A trust is a legal agreement where you agree to place your assets in the care of a second party for the benefit of a third party. If you are incapacitated, your assets can be protected by a trust. 
  • Health care power of attorney: Because incapacity can affect you without warning, designating power of attorney ensures a trusted agent can act when you cannot. A health care power of attorney is distinct from a living will, as it applies outside of end-of-life decisions.

    Bill Boyd

    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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
