About Washington County

Named after George Washington, Washington County is well-known for its history and natural beauty. Now home to more than 135,000 people, the county has been steadily growing for a decade with a recent population boom in the past few years.

This rapid growth has created a community of transplants who often have family members in other counties or out of state. For this reason, our Washington County clients have a lot of questions about the probate process in Tennessee.

When you work with Johnson, Murrell & Associates, you’ll be partnered with a probate expert who will oversee the process for you. For a quick no-pressure consultation, call us today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Probate is required because it helps ensure that an estate’s assets are distributed to the rightful heirs and beneficiaries. It also sees to it that all lingering debts and taxes are settled beforehand.
Not always, but there are some types of property that can be transferred without probate in Tennessee. This could include assets without joint ownership or assets held in a living trust. Financial accounts with payable-upon-death beneficiaries also fall under this category.
The cost of probate is usually covered by the estate of the deceased. This ensures that the executor and heirs don’t have to pay out of pocket. Probate costs will depend on the size and complexity of the estate. We tell you the cost upfront and charge a flat fee for our services.
The parties to an estate are anyone involved in the distribution of assets once the owner has passed away. This includes beneficiaries, creditors, heirs-at-law, and fiduciaries.
