Chances are you have questions about how your estate will be distributed among your heirs according to your wishes and how you can ensure the transfer of property will go as smoothly as possible. These questions are best answered by making a precise plan for when the day does come explaining to your family member, or any person of your choosing, exactly how you want all of your belongings and assets to be given.
There is often the fear of high costs associated with making this plan. At Lackey | McDonald, PLLC, however, our attorneys are dedicated to making this process as seamless and affordable as possible. Over time, we’ve noticed that clients often come to us with the same questions. We address these below and invite you to reach out to us for help if you need any additional questions answered.
How Much Does it Cost to Create a Will?
At Lackey | McDonald, PLLC, we offer individuals a flat fee of $500 for drafting a valid will in Tennessee. For couples, we can do so for $850.
What Does a Will Drafted by Lackey | McDonald, PLLC Include?
Our attorneys, first and foremost, provide our clients with care and respect. We listen to all of your concerns and answer each and every one of them, ensuring your understanding as well as ours of your desires.

Finally, our clients will leave with peace of mind in knowing that their estate will be handled in an efficient and intentional manner when the time comes.
Do I Really Need a Will?
This is a very fact-dependent question and has everything to do with who you wish to be the heirs of your estate, if are you married, if you have any children, and if you desire for anyone other than your children or spouse to inherit from your estate.
In our experience, however, the answer to that question is generally an absolute yes. Too often, after a loved one passes, families are torn apart because of the discord that arises during probate proceedings. Family members, friends, and even caregivers feel left out or that they weren’t loved by the deceased. Having a will is the best way to help your loved ones understand that these were indeed your last wishes.
