What We Do

We believe that your legacy is about more than just money—it's about your values, priorities, relationships, and life story. As your trusted advisor, we are here to guide you to make the best legal decisions for your family, offering the kind of comprehensive advice typically reserved for high-net-worth individuals.

Our approach goes beyond traditional wills and trusts. We help you:

  • Keep your loved ones out of court and conflict

  • Create an easy, effective, and affordable estate plan

  • Pass on what matters most to you

  • Ensure your family is cared for when you cannot be there

We understand that whether you have substantial assets or are just starting out, your legacy matters. Our life and legacy planning model covers not just what happens with your assets, but sets you up to leave a true legacy. 

We're your Knoxville-based estate planning law firm, dedicated to guiding you to do the right thing by the people you love. We'll be there for you and for them when you cannot be.

  • We guide you to ensure your kids (and the money you leave behind for them) are taken care of by the people you want in the way you want, no matter what, without court interference.

  • With our life and legacy planning model, we help you confidently make legal and financial decisions so you know you have a plan to keep everyone you love out of court and out of conflict after you pass.

  • We help you keep everything you have created and earned safe from creditors and other threats to your security, for your family now and for many generations into the future.

Who We Help

  • When you are married with children, estate planning seems pretty straightforward.

    You want your spouse making decisions for you if you can’t, and you want your assets to go to your spouse when you die and then to your children.

    But a myriad of questions need to be answered to ensure your family stays out of court and out of conflict in the event of your incapacity or death, even when you are simply married with children. And some tactical specifics need to happen to ensure your assets don’t end up lost to the state department of unclaimed property if your family overlooks something when you are not there to guide them.

  • If something happens to you while your children are minors, you want to ensure you have made the decision about who cares for them and how.

    In the most ideal scenario, your child’s other parent would be suitable to take custody of your child if you cannot be there. But in many cases, that’s not possible or desired. And even if it is, you may want the financial resources you are leaving behind cared for by someone other than your former spouse or partner.

    You need to take the necessary steps to legally document your wishes so nothing unexpected happens.

  • No matter how close or friendly you think your spouse and your children are, there is simply unavoidable and inherent conflict among them upon your death.

    The great news is that this conflict can be mitigated and you can ensure that the people you love most will all be well taken care of with the most ease possible.

    You can even take actions in advance to support their being on the same team in a time of grief if and when something happens to you.

    But it does not happen like magic. It does take planning.

  • In many ways, estate planning is almost more important for you when you are in an unmarried relationship with your life partner.

    The law does not protect your life partner, period.

    You have to take action yourself to ensure you will have access to your loved one’s hospital bedside. If you do not take action, it is very likely that the person you love most in the world could be blocked from being with you after an accident, making health care decisions for you, deciding what you are nourished with if you cannot decide for yourself, or who gets to see you.

    And that is just your healthcare.

    Without the protection of estate planning, you leave a lot up to chance.

  • No matter who your chosen family is, you have people and things you care about and want to protect.

    You want to pass on what you have worked so hard for your entire life and you want to do it in a way that helps your loved ones know and feel your love just when they will need to most.

    On top of that, and maybe even more importantly, you want to choose who will receive what you have worked so hard to create.

    To boot, you want to ensure that your chosen family will be able to care for and love you in the event you are incapacitated and cannot make healthcare decisions for yourself.

    Estate planning helps you do all of it, with ease.
