What a Probate Attorney Does
Long term care for both medical and non-medical is expensive. We have prepared many case documents in the past and can assist you in selecting the correct long term care facility, sufficient long term care insurance, or the proper government long term care assistance program that is right for you or your loved one.
In Tennessee, if you are married and die without a will, what your spouse inherits depends on whether you have living descendants — children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren. If you don’t, then your spouse inherits all of your intestate property. If you do, they and your spouse will share your intestate property equally, except that your spouse’s share cannot be less than 1/3. This process is called intestate succession.
Family members of the deceased are overwhelmed with daunting tasks following death; they should not have to deal with any family feuds or legal battles regarding the estate. Drafting a will helps to ensure that your estate is distributed according to your wishes.
