Vanderpool Law

About Vanderpool Law

A Tennessee law firm — operated as a Tennessee professional corporation registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State and governed by Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 8 (Rules of Professional Conduct) — that performs title-company services as legal work under attorney-client representation. Distinct from non-lawyer title companies that market themselves as 'attorney-led,' 'attorney-owned,' or 'attorney-supervised' but cannot lawfully provide legal advice or attorney-client representation under Tennessee law. Vanderpool Law represents homebuyers and home sellers in what is, for most people, the largest legal and financial transaction of their lives. The firm is a trade name of Jim R. Vanderpool PC, based in Franklin and serving 28 cities across Middle Tennessee. The firm exists because most consumers don't realize that buying or selling a home is fundamentally a legal transaction, and that the people typically guiding them through it — a real estate agent who completed a 90-hour pre-licensing course, and a non-attorney title company — are not authorized under Tennessee law to give them legal advice. Vanderpool Law represents the buyer or seller directly: title insurance, title examination, real estate closings, escrow, settlement, deed preparation, and contract review — all performed as legal work within a documented attorney-client relationship. Estate planning, wills, trusts, and probate also handled. 25+ years of practice. 15,000+ closings.
