Wills, Trusts, POA's, and Health Care Directives
Helping Clients with All Estate Documents in Tennessee
You do not have to be wealthy to need a will or trust document. Personal property with sentimental value is just as important as items with financial value. Call an experienced estate planning lawyer to help you.
At M.E. Donahue Law, PLLC, in Clarksville, Tennessee, I have been helping people protect their assets for over 14 years. I know that estate planning documents can seem overwhelming, but they are the best way to pass on your assets to loved ones. Contact me and I can explain the process to you.
Take the Time to Plan Now
Proper estate planning will save your family from making difficult decisions in your absence. It will also dispose of your assets in the manner that you choose:
- Will - A will disposes of your assets to those of your choosing. It can designate who gets what and under what conditions. A will goes through the probate system and sometimes has to be supervised by the court.
- Trust - For those with larger estates or family businesses, a trust is a beneficial tool to protect what you've built up for your family and loved ones.
- General Power of Attorney - A General POA is a very powerful document. It is important to understand how valuable this tool can be so that others can act on your behalf or in your absence.
- Living Will - A living will does not dispose of property. It is the document that clearly states your intentions regarding major life and death situations. Once drafted and signed, it should be kept with your other medical records.
- Heath Care Power of Attorney - This is an instrument that designates an individual to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event you are incapacitated. It works in conjunction with a Living Will.
There are other tools available to you as well when it comes to responsible estate planning. I can assess your circumstances and customize a comprehensive plan that will put you at ease.
