As your dedicated estate planning attorneys in the local area, we commit to guiding you through this delicate process with personalized care, understanding, and expertise.

We begin by taking the time to understand your unique circumstances, values, and goals.

Our approach ensures that every aspect of your estate—from financial assets to personal heirlooms—is considered and arranged for according to your specific directives.

Comprehensive Estate Planning Tailored to Your Needs

Estate planning is a crucial component of safeguarding your family’s future. It involves the preparation of Wills, Trusts, Durable Powers of Attorney, and Advance Directives, each crafted to reflect your specific desires and needs. At Elder Law of East Tennessee, we recognize the personal nature of estate planning and are dedicated to handling your estate planning with the utmost respect and diligence.

Our Estate Planning Services Include:

  • We create detailed Wills and Trusts, revocable and irrevocable, that can serve as your primary estate planning tool to address all aspects of your estate, from simple to complex scenarios, to protect your beneficiaries, prevent waste, and preserve your savings.

  • Prepare for the future by specifying your healthcare and end-of-life care preferences. Our team can help you make decisions about these difficult topics. The completed estate plan ensures your wishes are clearly articulated and legally binding.

  • Prepare for incapacity by designating someone you trust to handle important legal and financial decisions. We help you understand the options and implications so you can make informed choices about your fiduciaries.

  • We plan to avoid probate or estate administration where possible.  If it is necessary for a current or former client, we guide you through the probate process. Thoughtful planning minimizes the administrative tasks and burdens on your loved ones and reduces the delay in distributing your estate.

  • Protect your estate from unforeseen creditors and ensure your resources are utilized for your family’s benefit, not depleted by an unanticipated crisis. We offer strategies to preserve or protect your assets while complying with legal and ethical standards.
