Clear, Customized Planning for Memphis Families
Estate Planning Attorney in Memphis, TN for Wills, Trusts & More
You don’t need to be wealthy to need an estate plan.
If you have loved ones, a home, or any savings, a plan can make things easier for your family and ensure your wishes are followed. We help individuals and families across Memphis create wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other essential legal tools. Our job is to make it simple, clear, and tailored to you.
Wills, Trusts & Tools That Actually Work for Your Life
Estate planning isn’t just about passing things down. It’s about making sure the right people can step in when needed and avoid unnecessary stress or court battles. We can help with:
- Last Will & Testament
- Living Trusts & Revocable Trusts
- Durable Power of Attorney (Financial)
- Advance Healthcare Directives
- Living Wills
- Guardianship designations for minor children
- Beneficiary & asset protection planning
- Updates to existing plans after marriage, divorce, or major life events
Planning Now Means Less Worry Later
If something unexpected happens, the last thing you want is confusion or conflict. A solid estate plan:
- Keeps decisions in your hands—not the court’s
- Helps your family avoid delays and legal fees
- Allows you to name trusted people for financial and medical choices
- Protects your home and savings from unnecessary risk
- Gives you peace of mind, knowing your family is taken care of
We don’t use one-size-fits-all documents. We listen first, then create a plan that reflects what matters most to you.

Estate Planning Questions We Hear All the Time
What’s the difference between a will & a trust?
A will takes effect after you pass and goes through probate. A trust can help avoid probate and manage assets during your lifetime or after death. We’ll help you decide what’s right for you.
Do I really need a will if I don’t have a lot of assets?
Yes. A will does more than divide property—it names guardians, handles debts, and gives clear instructions for your family.
Can I write my own will in Tennessee?
Technically, yes—but homemade wills often lead to confusion or court challenges. It’s worth having a lawyer review or prepare it properly.
What happens if I die without a will?
Tennessee law decides who gets what, which might not match your wishes. The process can also be longer and more expensive.
How often should I update my estate plan?
We recommend reviewing your plan after major life events—like marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or a big financial change.
