Can You Skip Probate Completely? Don't Let Your Will Send Assets Into Probate!

Описание: I often meet families who believe that having a will means their affairs are fully protected. The truth is that a will does not avoid probate. In fact, a will is what sends your estate into probate, a process that can be time-consuming, expensive, and open to the public.

In this video, I explain how probate works in Tennessee and walk through practical strategies that can help families avoid it. We discuss revocable living trusts and how they allow you to stay in control of your assets during your lifetime while ensuring a smooth and private transfer to your loved ones. I also explain joint ownership, beneficiary designations, and payable-on-death options, including the risks and limitations families should understand before relying on them.

A well-designed estate plan can help protect your assets, reduce stress for your loved ones, and ensure your wishes are honored. If you are in Middle Tennessee and ready to put a plan in place, I encourage you to reach out and schedule a consultation. Taking action now can make a meaningful difference for your family later.
