Frequently Asked Questions

As the executor of an estate, it’s your responsibility to carry out the deceased’s final wishes. This means performing specific duties on behalf of beneficiaries and the court. Our legal team can help remove much of this burden and ensure that everything is completed correctly.
Failure to probate a will in Tennessee may result in delays and increased probate costs. The named executor will not be recognized by the court and the estate’s assets may not be distributed correctly. If you have questions about a will that was never filed, please call us.
The probate process begins with filing a death certificate, will, and petition at the probate clerk’s office. Creditors must also be notified. Assets can be distributed once debts and taxes are settled. Johnson, Murrell & Associates can help with every step of this process.
Certain types of property can be transferred without probate. For example, property under joint ownership and tenancy in common, as well as certain financial accounts, qualify. Talk to one of our experts to learn what may qualify for your unique case.
