Are Your Affairs in Order?
Wills, Estate Planning and Probate in Nashville, Tennessee
It's no fun to contemplate your own death or disability, but the peace of mind provided by estate planning is well worth it. The law firm of Rogers, Kamm & Shea offers affordable, personalized plans that protect and prepare your loved ones for the unthinkable.
You do not need to be "rich," or divorcing, or on the verge of retirement. Everyone should have a basic but thorough estate plan, especially if you have children and property. We invite you to arrange a consultation with our knowledgeable and helpful attorneys. We counsel individuals and couples in Nashville and surrounding counties of Tennessee.
Estate Planning Essentials
We will sit down with you to explore your needs, starting with the basics:
- A simple will to declare your heirs and distribution
- Trusts to expedite the transfer of wealth upon death
- Special needs trusts
- Powers of attorney for your financial and personal affairs
- Durable power of attorney for health care if you are incapacitated
- Advance medical directive (living will) for end-of-life care decisions
- Designation of guardians for your minor children
Many of our clients are business owners with succession planning goals or high earners with substantial assets subject to estate taxes. We can provide those sophisticated solutions, but we welcome one and all.
Probate Administration and Litigation
Tennessee probate is relatively simple from a legal standpoint, but it can be a time-consuming chore or have complicating factors. If you were named the executor or appointed personal representative of a family member's estate, our lawyers can walk you through the process and provide counsel or full assistance with the duties. We commonly help out-of-state clients called upon to settle an estate in Tennessee.
Our accomplished trial lawyers also handle probate litigation, representing beneficiaries, excluded heirs, executors or the estate:
- Will contests alleging undue influence over the most recent will
- Enforcement of prenuptial agreements
- Allegations of breach of fiduciary duty
- Contested guardianship
Protecting Your Interests and Preparing Your Family
Rogers & Associates will work with you to develop a custom tailored estate plan that protects, preserves, and passes on all that you have worked so hard to acquire, or guide you through probate proceedings.
