Nashville & Clarksville Probate Attorneys
Tennessee Estate Planning Lawyers
If a loved one has passed away, you may likely have questions regarding probate and the person’s estate. Probate is an area of law that requires honesty and compassion, two traits that our Clarksville probate attorneys display every day. We believe that by helping clients and giving them sound and honest legal advice throughout their probate process, we will help them reach a better conclusion for all parties involved.
After a person dies, he or she will often leave behind a will which will stipulate what to do with the estate, no matter how large or small. If there is no will, all property and assets may be intestate, meaning they are not assigned to anyone in particular and will have to be divided by the state probate court, based off the legal guidelines and defaults for Tennessee. There are a few assets which are not covered by probate, including:
- Property in a living trust
- Life insurance proceeds
- Property held in joint tenancy, such as a house co-owned by spouses
