The Tennessee Waiver to Serve as Administrator is a program that allows an individual to serve as an administrator of an estate without being formally appointed by the court. This waiver is designed to provide an efficient and cost-effective way for an individual to be appointed as an estate administrator without having to go through the court process. There are three types of Tennessee Waiver to Serve as Administrator: Affidavit of Waiver, Waiver by Consent, and Waiver by Petition. The Affidavit of Waiver allows an individual to waive their right to be appointed by the court as an estate administrator. The Waiver by Consent can be used when all other interested parties agree to waive their right to the appointment of a court-appointed administrator. The Waiver by Petition can be used when an individual petitions the court for the waiver of their right to be appointed by the court.
