A lot goes into making sure you and your loved ones are ready for the future. Without adequate preparation, when you pass, your loved ones could be facing more than just grief. Not having important documents completed, like a last will and testament, can make the process of receiving their inheritance more challenging.
While creating a will is often at the top of an individual’s list when thinking about preparing for the future, a trust can also guide how assets will be distributed. Crow Estate Planning & Probate is here to walk you through the process and ensure you and your family avoid the costly, time-consuming probate process.
A trust is a financial tool that allows you to set some of your money aside for a third party to manage it on behalf of another party. There are several individuals involved in the creation and management of a trust, including:
Depending on your needs and goals, there are several different kinds of trusts that you can create:
Trusts even offer the benefit of being either:
No matter which type you decide is right for you, you can feel confident knowing you can place tangible property, investments, and bank accounts in a trust and know it will be safe.
Trusts will also help you and your loved ones skip the probate process, which is a court-supervised proceeding that occurs when an individual dies without a last will and testament. A trust can avoid this because the assets and beneficiaries are listed, and everything is passed directly to the beneficiaries after the grantor’s death.
At Crow Estate Planning & Probate, we are here to guide you through the estate planning process and provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that you, your family and your future generations will be ready for the future. When you pass, your assets will be distributed exactly as you intended and laid out in the trust.
In Springfield, Tennessee, the most commonly used trusts are revocable and irrevocable. While both types of trusts allow your family to avoid the probate process, a revocable trust allows the grantor to make any amendments or changes to the trust as they deem necessary. Meanwhile, an irrevocable trust won’t be able to be altered. In other words, once you create it, the assets can’t be removed.
If you are interested in establishing a trust, our law firm can help you get started and ensure all details are exactly as you intended. We’ll do what it takes to ensure your assets are protected for your heirs and beneficiaries. Once you create your trust, you can experience peace of mind knowing it won’t be subjected to probate and the terms will remain private.

Today my wife and I completed (at Crow Estate Planning and Probate) our Will, Living Will, Power of Attorney for Finance and Medical. As a Tennessee CPA for over 20 years (now retired), I’d like to leave this review so that others may benefit. Our experience rating with with Crow Estate Planning and Probate is EXCELLENT. Our legal team was Kyle Shannon, Callie and Julia. This team was competent, courteous, and professional. They made a potentially complex experience “easy” despite multiple minor trusts involved. The charge for professional services rendered was very reasonable. My wife (Denise) and I would like to thank Kyle and his team (Callie and Julia) for a great experience that exceeded our expectations. I will return for legal needs and I will refer family and others to Kyle, Callie and Julia.
