Planning Today to Protect Your Family Tomorrow

Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy — it’s for anyone who wants to protect their family, secure their assets, and make sure their wishes are honored when they can’t speak for themselves. At Laxson Law, I help individuals and families across Pulaski and Middle Tennessee take control of their future through thoughtful, comprehensive estate planning. Whether you are building your first estate plan or updating one after major life changes, my goal is to give you clarity, peace of mind, and the confidence that your loved ones will be cared for according to your wishes.

A Future-Focused Approach to Your Needs

Life is unpredictable, but your plan doesn’t have to be. Estate planning allows you to prepare for the unexpected and ensure your assets, your medical care, and your personal decisions remain fully under your control. I take time to understand your goals — whether you want to protect your children, support your spouse, preserve family property, or ensure your medical decisions are respected. With that information, I craft a customized plan that reflects your priorities and minimizes the burden your loved ones may face during difficult times.

Building an Estate Plan That Fits Your Life

No two families are alike, which means no two estate plans should be identical. I work with clients from all walks of life — young professionals, retirees, blended families, business owners, caregivers, and more. Estate planning can address everything from financial protection to medical preferences, and I help you determine which tools are right for your specific situation. Whether you need a simple will or a more complex trust, I guide you through the process in clear and understandable terms.

Protecting Your Family, Your Assets, and Your Legacy

A strong estate plan provides more than just a list of instructions. It protects your assets from unnecessary taxes or disputes, names guardians for your children, outlines your medical care preferences, and ensures that your hard-earned property goes to the people and causes you care about most. I help you think through the practical details — who should manage your estate, who can make medical decisions for you, how to safeguard your financial accounts, and how to avoid disagreements among family members. With careful planning, we can minimize conflict and make sure your wishes are legally enforceable.

Adapting Your Plan as Your Life Changes

Estate planning is not a one-time task. As your life changes — whether through marriage, divorce, children, home purchases, business ventures, or health developments — your estate plan should be updated to reflect those changes. I help clients review and revise their plans periodically so they remain accurate and effective. A plan that protected your family ten years ago may not meet your needs today, and keeping it current ensures your loved ones stay protected in every stage of life.

Guiding Clients Throughout Middle Tennessee

I work with clients across Middle Tennessee and offer remote consultations for those who prefer to discuss their planning options from home. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure where to start. I simplify the process, answer your questions clearly, and help you build a plan that gives you confidence in the future.

How Each Estate Planning Tool Helps You

Wills

A will ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes and allows you to name guardians for your minor children. I help you draft a will that is legally sound and tailored to your personal needs.

Trusts

Trusts offer greater control over how and when your assets are distributed. They can help avoid probate, provide tax advantages, and protect your estate from unnecessary disputes.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. This tool helps prevent disruptions in your affairs and ensures your finances remain protected.

Living Wills

A living will outlines your medical care preferences in situations where you cannot communicate your wishes. It gives your loved ones clarity and helps ensure you receive the treatment you want — and only the treatment you want.
