FAQ

There are several legal requirements when you make a will in Tennessee ? notarization isn't one of them. ?For a will to be legally binding in Tennessee, it needs to be: In writing. Created by a testator (the person making the will) who is of sound mind and at least 18 years old.

Tennessee law requires testators to be 18 and of sound mind, while two or more witnesses must sign the will to make it valid. The state also accepts nuncupative (oral) wills under certain conditions, and holographic (handwritten) wills also are valid. 32-1-102, et seq.

Holographic wills are wills that are handwritten. Tennessee does recognize holographic wills that meet the statutory requirements (not all states recognize them). The statute governing the requirements for a holographic will in Tennessee is very short.

Not only must the witnesses and testator sign the will, but they must all do so in the presence of each other. If one signs the will without the other being present, the will cannot be accepted. Tennessee requires strict compliance with these rules. If you do not meet any of these requirements, the will is invalid.

Filing in Probate: A Will needs to be filed in the probate court. There may be other paperwork the decedent needs to file at the same time. Gathering Information: The executor needs to begin gathering information, such as identifying the heirs of the decedent as well as the decedent's assets and debts.
