Probate Law

If you need a Sumner County attorney to assist with estate administration or long term planning, The Ingrum Law Firm is here to help. We guide families through the probate process in Gallatin and handle sensitive matters involving living wills, powers of attorney, and conservatorships. Our goal is to provide clear legal counsel that simplifies the probate process and protects your family interests during difficult times.

Losing a loved one is difficult, but without an understanding of the challenging legal steps needed to handle these affairs, a troubling time can become even more complicated for a family. Laws regarding probating a family member's estate can be confusing to anyone without significant experience and knowledge about the pertinent legal matters, and even a so-called "small estate" is still subject to the laws governing probate of estates.
For many families, planning for possible disability is just as important as planning for your estate. Our office can help with preparing living wills, powers of attorney and health care. If a family member is already disabled or if they are a minor child receiving money and are in need of a court-appointed guardian or conservator, we can assist with the court process and follow up to establish and maintain a court-managed conservatorship or guardianship for them.
