About Knox County

Knox County is the third most populous county in Tennessee, covering Knoxville, Fountain City, Bearden, and the surrounding residential areas. Nearly half a million people call the city of Knoxville home, and the area has continued to grow with many new arrivals since 2020.

Our Knox County clients have often grown up elsewhere, whether they moved from out-of-state following the pandemic or they attended UT and never left. We frequently receive questions from adult children settling their parents’ estates including the transfer of residential property. Retitling a home is one of the biggest reasons why people need a probate lawyer in Tennessee, and we’re happy to answer your questions.

When you contact Johnson, Murrell & Associates, you’ll partner with a probate expert who will make sure nothing is missed or misfiled. Call us for a quick, no-pressure consultation.
