Asset Protection Planning in Tennessee
Tennessee asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Tennessee
Tennessee blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Business Succession Planning in Tennessee
Tennessee business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.
Charitable Trusts in Tennessee
Tennessee charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.
Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Tennessee
Tennessee digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.
Spouse's Elective Share in Tennessee
Tennessee elective share: 10% (3-yr marriage) up to 40% (10+ yr marriage), sliding scale.
Estate-Tax Planning in Tennessee
Tennessee estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Tennessee
Tennessee guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Probate Court / Chancery Court. Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.
Healthcare Directives in Tennessee
Tennessee healthcare directives: Advance Care Plan + Healthcare POA + POST.
Heirs' Property in Tennessee
Tennessee heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.
Intestate Succession in Tennessee: What Happens If You Die Without a Will
If you die in Tennessee without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse and children share equally — but the spouse never receives less than 1/3 of the estate, regardless of the number of children.
Living Trusts in Tennessee
A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates over $50K personal property typically benefit most.
