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.

Frequently Asked Questions

No! Our attorneys are qualified to handle probate matters anywhere in Tennessee. You may live in Knox County but need help settling an estate in a different county, or you may live outside of Knoxville and require assistance with a property located in the city. In any case, call our office to schedule an appointment.
Contrary to a popular belief, having a will does not avoid probate in Tennessee. It does, however, make the process easier. Please bring the will to your first appointment, and we will outline the process for your next steps.
Johnson, Murrell & Associates can assist you with navigating disputes about an original will and, if necessary, offer court representation. Please call our office to discuss the specifics of your situation.
While the process does typically go faster when you work with a probate attorney, be prepared for the full probate proceedings to take several months, often up to one year. By allowing us to focus on the legal details, you’ll retain the time and energy to handle other matters.
