Probate a Will

Even if you possess a will, the process of court proceedings and filing paperwork can extend for several months. We manage the necessary legal submissions on your behalf.

Small Estate Affidavit

Estates appraised at less than $50,000 are eligible for transfer through a streamlined probate procedure, subject to court approval. We can handle the submitting required documentation for you.

Probate Assistance Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a common misconception, but having a will does not avoid probate in Tennessee. Having a will does simplify the process. Be sure to bring the will to your first appointment so we can outline the next steps.
The first thing you need to do is file a petition for probate in the appropriate county court. Next, you’ll notify heirs and beneficiaries and take inventory of all assets. The executor also oversees final tax payments and payoffs to creditors using the funds available in the decedent’s estate. As probate experts, we can help you with every step so the process is as seamless as possible.
Beneficiaries are still able to inherit from the deceased’s estate, but sometimes the court process is more involved. If a family member has passed away without a valid will, please contact our office. We can offer assistance and direction.
The process is likely to go much faster when you hire a probate attorney. However, it’s important to know that the full probate proceedings can take several months, even up to one year. Let us focus on the legal details so you can retain that time and energy to handle other matters.
