taking on what
feels heavy

We are neither attorneys nor financial advisors, but we partner with these resources (when needed) to ensure that every task we complete for you is under their advisement. If you do not have an estate attorney or financial advisor, and your estate requires or would benefit from these resources, we are happy to connect you with our extensive network.

You or your family members do not need to live in Middle Tennessee to hire us. However, to best serve your family, it is ideal if your lost loved one lived in Middle Tennessee or the surrounding areas when he or she passed. This allows us to be able to search the house for important information that you may not be able to locate (i.e., account information, services to be cancelled, etc.) and meet resources at the home (i.e., realtors, estate sale companies, and dumpster pick-ups). If you are not sure if we can service your loved one’s estate due to location, please contact us, and we will be happy to let you know if we can help.

Protecting your family’s private information is our utmost priority at Sunny Care Services; that’s why we delete any sensitive records relating to your family once the work within your lost loved one’s estate is closed. That said, however, we typically need to provide identifying information (i.e., account names, death certificates, etc.) to organizations in order to close out accounts and shut down services. We are happy to have further conversations with you about such processes and then determine the best way to access the required information in a way that makes you feel most comfortable.

We typically start working you and your family a few weeks after the loss of your loved one. However, we are happy to talk to you anywhere between the time of immediately losing a loved one up to years after losing a loved one. We want to provide answers and clarity to grieving families and are happy to provide guidance whenever you need it. Our After Loss Checklist is a great place to start if you haven’t checked it out already.

In our Executor Services offering, we serve as the named executor in the estate, taking on the responsibility and liability of the executor position. In our After Loss Support service offering, we serve as a legal agent on behalf of the executor in the estate, meaning that we are able to make phone calls and close accounts on behalf of the executor. Still, the executor is the person in charge, always giving us approval before any action is taken.

When you choose for Sunny Care Services’ After Loss Support offering, we will ask you to sign an agreement that allows us to act as a legal agent on the behalf of the executor (you). Essentially, this legal agency agreement allows Sunny Care Services to make phone calls, close accounts, and coordinate resources on the executor’s behalf — all while you maintain the responsibility and control over the tasks to be completed. Sunny Care Services only takes action after receiving full approval from you and your family.

Yes, we are so happy to see this kind of generosity given to someone you love! What you are giving your family member or friend is peace of mind to know that it is taken care of-whether that be getting their estate documentation organized or closing out a lost loved one’s life. We are knowledgeable, organized, and gentle with the families we serve- ensuring everything is handled for them. No task is too big or small. If you are interested in gifting Sunny Care Services to a friend or family member, please contact us to learn more.

Yes, we do offer a prepayment option of our After Loss Support package, as we think this a thoughtful way to ensure there is someone supporting your family and taking on the burdensome tasks of closing out your life after passing. If you consider prepaying for our After Loss Support package, we request for you to let Sunny Care Services review your current estate documentation and organization to determine if we are a good fit to support you and your family.
