Re: Probate husband's will
It depends. In Tennessee if your husband's estate (value of his property) did not exceed $25,000.00 then you could probate the will yourself.
See Tenn. Code Ann. 30-4-101 for a detailed description of the process. Otherwise, you will need an attorney. I would suggest that you contact a local estate/probate attorney for further consultation regardless of the action that you take.
