ESTATE PLANNING

Estate planning gives you the ability to decide how your property will be handled, who will care for your children, and who can make decisions for you if you are unable to do so. Without a plan, these choices may be made by the court instead of by you or your family. If you pass away without a will, Tennessee law determines who receives your assets, which may not reflect your wishes or your family’s needs. Taking time now can help reduce confusion and conflict later, giving your loved ones clear direction during a difficult time.

What to Include in Your Estate Plan

A complete estate plan often includes a will, power of attorney, and advance healthcare directives. These documents allow you to name people you trust to manage your affairs and make decisions on your behalf. In some cases, a trust may also be useful for managing assets, avoiding probate, or handling special circumstances such as caring for a loved one with a disability.

Your estate plan can name guardians for minor children and leave instructions for their care. It can also address concerns related to blended families, business ownership, or future health decisions. Planning ahead is not only about what happens after you pass away, but also about protecting your interests while you are still living.

Why Planning Ahead Matters

The choices you make today can bring comfort and protection to the people you care about most. A legally valid plan helps your family avoid stress, delays, and unwanted surprises. Even a simple plan can make a meaningful difference.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very grateful for the support Elizabeth gave me throughout my divorce. She guided me every step of the way and made sure I understood the whole process from beginning to end. She helped me feel calm, more at peace, and confident in the decisions we were making. During mediation, she was very professional and always looking out for my best interest. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce who wants a knowledgeable and caring attorney by their side.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My divorce attorney helped save my marriage, when did you ever hear such a thing, but for me this is exactly what happened.

I came to Elizabeth during a time a great distress, and prior to speaking with her, I felt as though everything was spinning out of control. I was overwhelmed by all of the complexities that suddenly emerge when one contemplates divorce. Elizabeth's counsel provided me with the legal roadmap and that alone freed up my mind space to focus on other things. All I could focus on prior to meeting with Elizabeth was the impending divorce I was considering, but with my mind at ease about the legal journey, I was able to focus on my relationship with clarity.
I recommend Elizabeth without reservation.
