Fast Track Planning Process

When you select a Fast Track Estate Plan, rest assured we have your needs covered from beginning to end. Here is what this expedited process will look like from start to finish.

1. Schedule a Consult with One of Our Qualified Life Care Planning Attorneys. Talk with our Intake Specialist, Emma Parrott, who will assist you with scheduling your appointment and send you the needed forms to guide the consult process.
2. Consult with Attorney. Discuss your planning goals and outline your wishes during a meeting with an attorney using video or teleconference technology. The consultation meeting will include up to two hours to plan and strategize. If services are retained, your attorney will schedule a second meeting to review your documents with you and a third meeting for the actual signing of your documents.
3. Draft Review Meeting. Review your documents and discuss your questions with an attorney using video or teleconference technology. The attorney will confirm your signing appointment and review the signing process with you.
4. Singing Appointment. Travel to Elder Law of East Tennessee’s office, and an attorney and select group of staff members will facilitate the signing of your documents while you remain in the comfort of your vehicle (see below for more on curbside signing).
5. Receipt of Final Documents. You may choose to receive your final documents either the same day or next day. All original estate planning documents and one copy of each document are delivered in a professional expandable folder.

Virtual Signing Now Available

Thanks to Governor Lee's Executive Order signed on April 9th which suspends laws to allow for remote witness and notarization of documents. We can now expedite our Fast Track Estate Plans even faster.

Curbside Signing

We have designed “Curbside Signing” to be as easy as curbside pickup from your favorite restaurant while eliminating physical contact and shared spaces.How does it work?

• Clients will be directed to a designated parking space in the ELET parking lot. 
• Clients will remain in their vehicles with windows up. 
• An attorney, while standing outside your vehicle, will communicate with you by telephone during the appointment and guide you through the process. 
• Three staff members will accompany the attorney outside your vehicle during the appointment to meet legal requirements when executing estate planning documents.
• The signing attorney will instruct you on what documents you are signing and will help you direct one of the staff members, who is referred to as the proxy in this circumstance, to sign the documents on your behalf. 
• Once all documents are signed and witnessed, ELET will prepare and provide you with your final documents.

In order to serve you quickly, it is our highest aim that this process from retention to final documents will not exceed 10 days. Call us today to get started.Click here to download the Fast Track Estate Plan flyer.
