Probate a Will

The probate process and asset inventory can take months even with a will. We can take care of everything from legal filings to asset distribution.

Probate without a Will

The inheritance rights of beneficiaries take precedence in Tennessee when there is no will present. Probate is still required without a will, and we can provide guidance through the process.

Paying Off Creditors

Settling debts and taxes for a deceased loved one can feel daunting. Our Sullivan County probate attorneys will ensure that these requirements are carried out according to state law.

Distribution of Assets

From retitling assets to collecting life insurance policies, there are usually multiple steps involved in the distribution of assets. Let us carry the burden probate can bring.
