ESTATE PLAN PREPARATION FROM A CERTIFIED SPECIALIST
An estate plan is essential for everyone, regardless of stage of life or economic status. If you do not have an estate plan or have not recently updated your existing plan, let us advise you of your options.
No matter your unique circumstances, the Brentwood, Tennessee, law firm of Cook Tillman Law Group, will guide you through the difficult yet rewarding process of establishing an estate plan that ensures that your intentions are honored with respect to your family, finances and future. Russ Cook and Josh Tillman are certified estate planning specialists and educators. There is no estate plan that is too complex for us to handle. Our estate planning services include:
Wills
A last will and testament is the cornerstone of every estate plan. Without a will, a court makes decisions in your stead, such as determining who receives your assets and cares for your children. Codicils allow you to amend, supplement or revoke portions of your will.
Trusts
A trust can provide you with many benefits, including tax planning, keeping personal information private, avoiding probate, and saving more assets for your heirs and your charities.
Powers of Attorney and Living Wills
Standard documents with any estate plan or will package, a living will and power of attorney allow you to choose who will make financial and medical decisions on your behalf if you are incapacitated.
Conservatorships
When a person is deemed incapacitated, a conservator can be named to become legally responsible for that person’s interests. These interests can include his or her physical well-being as well as finances.
Transfers of Property and Assets
We also prepare any necessary documents such as deeds and promissory notes and complete all property, asset and gift transfers.
