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:

1. Do I need a Will?
2. What happens if I pass away without creating a Will?
3. What is probate and should I try to avoid it?
4. Are there other estate planning documents that I should have?
5. How does a power of attorney actually work?
6. Does it make sense to set up a trust?
7. Are beneficiary designations part of an estate plan?
8. What happens to my debts when I die?
9. How can I keep the nursing home from taking my home?
10. 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.

DESCRIPTION

Occasionally, you may get a showing request from an appraiser or real estate licensee who isn’t an MLS user affiliated with one of our eKey reciprocity partners. So, we’ve enabled a new feature in your Supra eKey – Single Access!

Single Access allows listing agents on a case-by-case basis to invite the property owner, or out-of-area appraisers or real estate licensees to access a keybox at a specific date/time. Single Access offers:

• Secure, limited, and non-transferable access
• Access credentials delivered to the out-of-area licensee’s smartphone
• Easy to view, modify and manage granted access within the Supra eKEY app
• Out-of-area licensees have a “one-button” (i.e., Obtain Key) within the Supra eKEY app that provides easy access to obtain keys from Supra lockboxes.

To ensure our eKey holders limit the use of Single Access to authorized persons, the MLS Rules include the following:

Section 18.12.a. Supra’s Managed Access is available to any Participant or Subscriber Keyholder (i.e., listing agent) to provide access to the Keyholder’s keybox, provided the person to whom access is granted is the property owner or:

i.     Holds an active real estate or appraiser license in the state where the property is located; and

ii.   Is not an MLS Participant or Subscriber in this MLS or any MLS with whom Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® has e-Key reciprocity.

When granting Managed Access, Keyholder shall enter in the Supra system the name and contact information of the real person to whom access is being granted. Failure to abide by this Section 18.12.a. shall result in a:

i.     Five hundred dollars ($500) for the first offense:

ii.   Seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750) for the second offense; and

iii. One thousand dollars ($1,000) for the third offense.

For any fourth or more violation, the offender shall appear before the MLS Committee for consideration of discipline to be imposed. Said discipline shall be limited to those outlined in Section 7 of hte MLS Rules.

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:

1. Who has authority to sign a contract or deed when someone is deceased?
2. What is probate and how does it affect a closing?
3. 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.   

Course material will be provided during class.
