Expert guidance through a complex estate settlement

When my mother passed away, her estate was far more complicated than I anticipated, involving a family trust, multiple properties, and some outdated beneficiary designations. I was overwhelmed and sought an attorney with specific expertise in trusts and estates. From our first consultation, Michael Adams demonstrated a profound understanding of Tennessee estate law. He patiently explained every step, from the probate process to the nuances of trust administration, in terms I could understand. His recognition in this field, which I later learned about, was immediately evident in his meticulous approach. Michael and his team at Evans Petree handled everything with exceptional professionalism, ensuring all filings were accurate and timely. He proactively identified potential tax implications we hadn't considered and navigated a delicate family dynamic with great diplomacy. The entire process was resolved smoothly and efficiently, allowing our family to focus on grieving rather than paperwork. His four years of focused practice in this area, combined with his clear communication, made an incredibly stressful situation manageable. I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone needing guidance with estate planning or probate matters in the Memphis area.
