ALL ABOUT US

Our mission is to help families through the probate process and ensure the estate is handled right.

At Guardian Probate Law Group, we focus exclusively on helping families on helping families who have lost a loved one.


We focus on making the process as peaceful and efficient where possible, and we litigate disputes aggressively when necessary.

We’re committed to ensuring that the estate is handled properly and that your rights are protected, while respecting your loved one’s legacy.

Our passion for probate law is deeply rooted in a personal story.

During his college years, our founding attorney, Erik Broel, witnessed a probate estate situation spiral out of control in his own family.  

An uncle’s death left Erik’s aunt, someone he was very close to, in a devastating position. The ensuing estate sale and its impact, seeing cherished family items being tagged and sold, left a lasting impression on him.

He saw his aunt struggle with the complexities of estate management without a will, leading to family discord and confusion at a time when unity and peace were most needed.

Erik’s efforts to assist his aunt, who had to navigate through estate sales and even repurchase her own house, left a lasting impact on him. Witnessing her emotional and physical distress inspired Erik to dedicate his career to preventing others from undergoing similar difficulties.


This experience fueled his commitment to finding better ways to handle estates and trusts, ensuring that others don’t endure similar hardships.

Erik’s mission is to demystify the estate and trust processes, making them accessible and manageable, always with a human touch. His belief in specialization means that clients receive focused, empathetic guidance tailored to their unique circumstances.

Our team in Tennessee continues this mission, ensuring that every client receives the support they need during challenging times.
