Providing Strong Representation in Probate Matters

The probate procedures that oversee the distribution of an estate can seem like a mysterious and complicated process. Attorney Dan Shumake, is a speaker on matters of estate planning and probate for other lawyers, and makes a priority of demystifying the probate process for clients. From beneficiary representation to representation as the administrator or executor of an estate, we can provide experienced and informed guidance and protection through the probate process.

Experienced Probate Administration

We provide strong and experienced representation for probate and estate administration.

We are prepared to represent you as the executor of a will or administrator when the estate is intestate, which is a term that means there is no will. We have experience handling complicated estates, and providing fair representation for administrators and executors who are executing the directions of the will or the orders of the courts.

We understand that the loss of a loved one is a complicated and painful time. Having an experienced lawyer working with your family's estate who is focused on providing personal service can be beneficial to all parties. We can make sense of the sometimes-complicated probate process for you. Unlike some other states, Tennessee requires that an attorney assist the administrator/executor with estate administration including:

  • Notification of heirs
  • Paperwork and documentation
  • Management of estate
  • Transfer of property and assets

Complete the probate/estate planning and administration case evaluation form.

These tasks are essential to a smooth estate administration and you should have an attorney with the requisite skill and expertise to guide you. We handle these and other services with sensitivity and professionalism. Our peers rely on our knowledge of probate law, and you can too.

We also offer services to protect and represent beneficiaries during the probate process.

Whether you need estate administration in the execution of a will or representation as a beneficiary, we are ready to assist you and your family. Contact us today.
