Nashville Estate Administration Attorneys
Nashville ◊ Memphis ◊ Chattanooga ◊ Murfreesboro ◊ Statewide
If you have been named the executor of the estate of a friend or loved one, your life has just become far more complicated. As the personal representative, you must safely guide the estate through the probate process and facilitate the orderly distribution of its assets. This may require an accounting, appraisal or valuation of some of the assets. As the executor, you will be responsible for paying the final debts of the estate and filing the appropriate estate tax returns. Furthermore, if there are any legal challenges to the will, you must represent the interests of the estate. When you take on these tasks, you want experienced estate administration lawyers to guide you.

In our estate administration practice, we assist you in handling all the details from start to finish. We prepare any documents that need to be filed with the probate court, including accountings of assets. We help you secure assistance to properly appraise the value of estate assets, pay off estate obligations and distribute the assets. We also handle will contests, most often to defend the will if the estate is our client. On occasion — if there is real merit in the matter — we will undertake to challenge the will of a decedent. We also frequently do probate work for former estate planning clients.
