FAQ

If someone dies intestate in Tennessee with no surviving spouse or descendants, the first beneficiaries would be their parents, if they still live. The estate will be divided between both parents if they're alive or pass in entirety to one survivor. If no parents are alive, the estate then passes to any siblings.

Holographic wills, also called handwritten wills, are considered valid in the State of Tennessee. To have a valid holographic will in Tennessee, the testator (person writing the will) must be 18 years or older, the entire will must be handwritten, and the testator must sign the will.

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.

If you know what property you own and how you want to give it away, you are ready to make your will. You are not required to use an attorney to draft your will. However, you must follow state-specific guidelines for signing your will to make it a valid legal document in Tennessee.
