LOCATION Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® (2963 Amnicola Highway) DESCRIPTION Estate Planning: Probate, Wills, Powers of Attorney, & Trust call will be held IN PERSON. This course is designed for the general public to answer the top 10 questions regarding estate planning. Every adult should have a comprehensive estate plan in place. Yet, studies show that 60% of Americans do not have a Will, let alone any other estate planning documents. A properly designed estate plan should protect you, your family and your finances. Burns, Henry & Kirksey is committed to providing solution-driven estate planning representation. In this presentation, Attorney Bryce Kirksey answers 10 of the most common questions about estate planning in Tennessee. These questions and topics include: Do I need a Will? What happens if I pass away without creating a Will? What is probate and should I try to avoid it? Are there other estate planning documents that I should have? How does a power of attorney actually work? Does it make sense to set up a trust? Are beneficiary designations part of an estate plan? What happens to my debts when I die? How can I keep the nursing home from taking my home? What are the most common estate planning mistakes to avoid? At the end of the presentation there will be time for Q&A as well. Course material will be provided during class.

DETAILS Thu, Oct 3, 1:00pm – 2:30pm I See Dead People & They Want to Sell Real Estate Burns, Henry, & Kirksey P.C. LOCATION Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® (2963 Amnicola Highway) DESCRIPTION I See Dead People & They Want to Sell Real Estate class will be held IN PERSON. This course is designed for real estate agents to assist them in navigating real estate transactions involving deceased sellers and probate. In the real estate world, we see so many real estate transactions where the seller is deceased or the real estate is included in a probate. Unfortunately, these types of situations often result in the closing being delayed or the contract possibly terminating. As an attorney owned title company, Burns, Henry & Kirksey, is committed to assisting real estate agents in understanding what information they need to navigate these types of closings and helping them successfully close. In this presentation, Attorneys Travis Henry and Bryce Kirksey identify three key questions that realtors should ask when taking a listing where a seller is deceased. These questions and topics include: Who has authority to sign a contract or deed when someone is deceased? What is probate and how does it affect a closing? How long do you have to wait to close? In addition, the course includes practical tips to avoid a delayed closing. At the end of the presentation there will be time for Q&A as well. Bryson M. (“Bryce”) Kirksey’s practice involves many transactional matters, including tax planning for individuals and companies, estate planning (drafting wills and trusts), probate, business formation and planning, and forming and advising tax-exempt organizations. Bryce is also a licensed title insurance agent with Fidelity National Title and is licensed to practice law in Tennessee. Travis D. Henry concentrates his practice in the areas of real estate, secured lending and litigation. Travis represents investors, developers, lenders and participants in real estate transactions. He is a licensed title insurance agent with Old Republic Title and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company. Travis is licensed in Tennessee and Georgia.
