Many people believe that avoiding probate through the preparation of trusts is the best way to keep as many assets in a family when someone dies, and avoid paying inheritance taxes or probate fees. However, the Chattanooga, Tennessee, estate planning lawyers at Stulce & Yantis encourage all clients to have a pourover will.

Trusts, Wills, Medical Directives, Powers of Attorney

Comprehensive estate planning may include wills, spousal and children's trusts, insurance trusts, special needs trusts, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, advance medical directives, powers of attorney (general, special and medical), as well as an array of sophisticated planning techniques used to protect assets from unnecessary probate costs and taxation.  We handle all estate planning issues from the simple to the complex.

The Value of a Pourover Will

When used in conjunction with trusts, a pourover will accounts for any property that was not properly deeded to the trusts. It also offers survivors the peace of mind of a tangible deadline for estate administration. The process of probate that a will sets in motion gives creditors a deadline for making claims. Survivors enjoy peace of mind after a deadline for financial closure at a fixed point in time.
