Make Sure the Right People Get What You Intended.
A will decides who receives your property and, just as important, who raises your children if something happens to you. Without one, the state decides for you.
Without a Will, the State Decides
If you die without a will in Tennessee, the law decides who gets what, and it may not match what you’d choose. Your spouse doesn’t automatically inherit everything; the estate gets split between your spouse and your children under a fixed formula you had no say in.
For parents, the bigger issue is your kids. A will is where you name who raises your children if something happens to you. Without one, that decision goes to a court that never met your family.
This isn’t about how much you own. It’s about making sure the people you love aren’t left sorting through uncertainty at the worst possible time.
What a Will Does
A clearly written, properly executed will removes guesswork and conflict at the worst possible time for your family. It names who inherits what, who serves as guardian for your minor children, and who carries out your wishes as executor.
What’s Included
- A will that names your beneficiaries and an executor
- Guardianship designations for minor children
- Instructions executed to Tennessee legal standards
- Review to make sure nothing is missed or left open to dispute
Flat-Fee Pricing
A standalone will starts at $500. Reciprocal wills, a matched pair for married couples, start at $800.
Most families need more than a will alone. If you also want a power of attorney and an advance healthcare directive, I offer all three together, Will, POA, and Advance Directive, as a complete set for a flat $900. It’s the most common choice, and it closes the gaps a will by itself leaves open.
