Who We Help

Probate can be confusing. Here's how we help.

Executor

Probate is a long and difficult process, and, in most cases, an executor has never done this before. Partnering with an attorney shields you from liability and provides professional guidance for settling debts, filing paperwork, and resolving disputes over the will.

Personal Representative

If you've been appointed as the personal representative of an estate, you may feel overwhelmed by the logistics of the probate process. Let us shoulder that burden. We help with everything from settling debts to categorizing estate assets.

Estate Beneficiaries or Heirs

Probate cases are often delayed because of simple errors or the failure to meet legal requirements. By working with a Tennessee probate attorney, you can achieve a faster estate settlement.
