Wills, Trusts, Power of Attorney & Advanced Directives
Planning for the future and the inevitable is a service to those you care about. A simple will, power of attorney, healthcare power of attorney, and advanced directive for healthcare are basic documents called instruments that will simplify your life. Letting the courts know who you want to execute your wishes and how you would like your assets distributed in the event of your death makes the process so much easier for your heirs or beneficiaries. It also makes it easier for healthcare professionals and those charged with handling your affairs if you are seriously injured or incapacitated. The process may seem dark or looming, but together we can make it very simple and generally quick to set in place documents that will protect you and your estate. Preparation is a gift that you give to those you love and future generations, it is your legacy. You will be surprised that a simple will package is fast and affordable.
Estates in Probate
After a person has passed the estate often has to be opened in the probate court in order to resolve financial matters such as who will represent the estate, who will inherit, what assets will pass, how will final expenses be paid, how to accounts get closed, and how will debts be paid. This process happens when there is a will and when there is not a will. When there is not a will the legal term used is intestate succession, which means that the court will determine who the assets will pass to using the Tennessee laws. This requires opening an estate in probate, which Kylene Ross can help you to do. Having help to walk through this process step-by-step is necessary, and having a trusted lawyer to assess the estate and represent you to the probate court makes the process much simpler. Kylene Ross can give you an idea about how long the process will be and what is involved in order to resolve the estate after someone has passed.
