Estate Planning Attorneys in Memphis, Tennessee

Estate planning is one of the most meaningful ways to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are honored. At Oath Law, our Memphis office helps families create clear, customized estate plans that reduce stress, eliminate uncertainty, and bring long-term peace of mind. Whether you're beginning your plan or updating older documents, we make the process simple, supportive, and easy to understand.

Trust and Estate Attorneys in Memphis

A trust is a powerful estate planning tool that offers greater control over how your assets are managed and distributed. Oath Law's Memphis trust attorneys help you determine whether a revocable living trust or an irrevocable trust best fits your needs.

A revocable living trust lets you maintain control of your assets while keeping the flexibility to update your plan as life changes. An irrevocable trust provides stronger long-term protection and structure. Our team explains each option in clear, everyday language so you can make confident decisions that support your family's financial future.

Wills and Estate Planning Lawyers in Memphis

A will forms the foundation of your estate plan. It outlines who will receive your property, names guardians for minor children, and ensures your wishes are understood.

At Oath Law, our Memphis estate planning lawyers guide you through each step of creating or updating your will. We help you think through your decisions, document your wishes clearly, and create a plan that brings clarity and comfort to your loved ones when they need it most.

Power of Attorney Lawyers in Memphis

A Power of Attorney (POA) allows someone you trust to handle your financial and legal responsibilities if you become unable to do so. Without a POA, your family may face delays and legal hurdles just to manage everyday tasks.

Our Memphis team helps you choose the right person, define their authority, and prepare a durable POA that offers reliable protection. With a strong POA in place, you can feel confident that your affairs will be handled smoothly in unexpected situations.

Healthcare Directives and Living Wills

A healthcare directive, often called a living will, outlines your medical treatment preferences if you cannot communicate your decisions. It provides clarity and peace of mind for both your loved ones and your healthcare team.

Oath Law's Memphis team guides you through thoughtful medical decisions, including life support, emergency treatment, and comfort care. We help you clearly document your wishes so your family can act with confidence and compassion during difficult moments.

A will takes effect after you pass away, while a trust can manage assets both during your life and afterward.
