Wills
What is a Will and when is it effective?
A will is a legal document containing your wishes as to the distribution of your real and personal property after you pass away. It must be properly signed and witnessed. A person must have “legal capacity” to make a will.
What If You Don't Have a Will?
If you die without executing a will, Tennessee law will govern how your property is distributed. If you are married and without children at your death, your estate will pass entirely to your surviving spouse. If you are married and have children, your estate will pass to your children and your surviving spouse. If you are unmarried but have children, your estate will pass entirely to your children. If you are unmarried and without children, your estate will pass to your parents if they survive you, otherwise to your brothers and sisters. Ultimately, if no family member is ascertained, the estate will pass to the State of Tennessee.
