MHPS Law: Bringing Compassion and Care to Probate Litigation in Tennessee
From our law office in Nashville, our team of probate attorneys commit to helping Tennessee families solve probate issues, bridge familial divides, and move on from complex estate administration issues.
We pride ourselves on our reputation as professional, honest, and empathetic problem solvers dedicated to doing right by our clients and their families.
With our probate administration lawyers in your corner, you can count on a fair resolution.
Probate disputes can involve disagreements or allegations of wrongdoing related to the management and care of incapacitated family members.

The question of who should look after a minor following the passing of their legal guardian can be difficult to answer.

Does a recently deceased loved one’s trust seem unfair? Do you have reasons to question its validity? Our trust litigation attorneys can help resolve disputes over the validity of a trust.
We’ll help you determine whether or not you have cause and legal standing to file a claim and guide you through the best course of action to resolve the dispute.
If your loved one was not of sound mind when putting together their will, was coerced or under duress, or did not know or approve of all elements of the will, you could have cause to contest its validity.
Our probate litigation lawyers can help you determine whether you can contest the will and lead you through the contesting process to minimize stress.
There are times when a loved one may need assistance in planning their estate, but the assistance they receive may not always have their best interests at heart.
If you suspect a relative, caretaker, or attorney of having exerted undue influence in the writing of a will, our undue influence attorneys can help you prove your case and contest the will.
A person or entity selected as the executor, trustee, or representative of a loved one’s estate has a legal responsibility to fulfill their wishes. If the fiduciary acts contrary to that duty—for example, acting in their own self-interest instead of the beneficiaries, misappropriation of assets, or failing to comply with laws and regulations—our probate litigation attorneys can help you take legal action to remove them.
