Preparing simple wills or trusts can be helpful to ensure that the assets which you own will pass based upon your wishes. Multiple options are available based upon your needs and can be tailored to your family dynamics and goals.
After a loved-one passes, it is often necessary to have an expert guide an Executor or Trustee through the process of finalizing their affairs. Not every matter is necessary to be handled in court, but if so, we provide expert representation throughout the court process. We are also here for more complex litigation matters in probate court regarding estates and trusts.
If a loved-one or close friend is in need of an advocate when they're unable to manage their own affairs. Whether it's a life-long disability, or the advancement of decline for an elderly person, a conservatorship may be needed. We also are here to help in the event that a Court-Ordered Guardianship for a minor child is necessary.
We can prepare documents which may help get all affairs in order in advance, including powers of attorney, which would allow someone close and trusted to help out in the event that you may need someone to help.
We can help you with strategies for loved ones as they age including: Medicaid (Tenncare) strategies, shelter trusts, and other planning associated with the aging community.

Also, if you are starting a business and in need of legal counsel to ensure that your new venture is structured correctly, then call us to help you begin something new.
