Wills & Last Testaments

Make Your Wishes Clear and Enforceable

Will is one of the most important documents you will ever create. It is how you tell the world what should happen to your belongings and your dependents after you pass. Without a Will, those decisions are left to the state, and the outcome may not reflect what you would have chosen.

Robin White helps individuals and families in Tennessee and Mississippi draft Wills that are clear, thorough, and tailored to their specific wishes. Whether it is your first Will or you need to update an existing Will, Robin will make sure every detail is included.

What a Will Does

A Will is a legally binding document that allows you to:

  • Specify how your property and assets should be distributed after your death
  • Name an executor to carry out your wishes and manage your estate
  • Designate a guardian for your minor children
  • Leave specific bequests to individuals, organizations, or charities
  • Establish testamentary trusts to manage assets on behalf of beneficiaries who are not ready to receive them outright
  • Express your wishes regarding funeral arrangements and final matters

What Happens Without a Will?

If you pass away without a Will in Tennessee, the state's intestacy laws determine who inherits your assets. That means a court will decide how your property is divided, who takes responsibility for your estate, and potentially who cares for your children. The process can be lengthy, costly, and emotionally difficult for your family.

Creating a Will puts you back in control and spares your loved ones from unnecessary stress during an already painful time.

When Should You Update Your Will?

A Will is not something you create once and forget about. Major life changes should trigger a review, including:

  • Marriage or divorce
  • The birth or adoption of a child
  • The death of a spouse, beneficiary, or executor
  • A significant change in your financial situation
  • A move to a new state
  • Changes in your wishes or family dynamics

Robin recommends reviewing your Will every three years, even if nothing major has changed, just to make sure everything is still current.

What to Expect When Working with Robin

Robin keeps the process simple. He will sit down with you, walk through your wishes and your family situation, and draft a Will that covers everything that is needed. He will also make sure it is properly executed under Tennessee or Mississippi law so there is no question about its validity. If your situation calls for additional tools like trusts or powers of attorney, he will let you know, but he will never push you into something you do not need.
