Probate Questions We Hear Often

  • What is probate?

    Probate is the court process for settling a person's estate after death. It involves validating a will, paying debts, and distributing assets.

  • What if there's no will?

    Tennessee has laws that decide who inherits if there's no will. We help you file for administration and guide you through the process.

  • Do I have to go to court?

    In most cases, at least one court appearance is required. We handle the filings and court interactions so you don't have to figure it out alone.

  • Can I avoid probate?

    With the right planning (like trusts or beneficiary designations), it's possible to avoid probate-but after someone passes, we help you determine what must go through probate and what doesn't.

  • What is a small estate affidavit?

    If the estate is under a certain value and meets other requirements, you may be able to avoid formal probate. We'll let you know if this option applies.
