If a person dies in Tennessee without a will, then who gets the property? If the person is married and has never had children, then the entire estate will go to the spouse if the spouse is living. If however the person has a child or children with a surviving spouse, then the spouse must share the remaining estate with the child or children. If there is not a surviving spouse, then the property will pass to the child or children in equal shares. If there are deceased children that would have had a claim, then it can become even more complicated.
Most people feel that their families would not argue over money or property, but it is very important that anyone planning for the future to have a Last Will and Testament in place. Do not leave the questions unanswered for your family. Wills are an inexpensive way to guarantee that your wishes are followed.
