Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Tennessee

You should go to the probate court and talk with the clerk. If you have a small estate there is a small estate procedure that you could follow. That's where you are going to start.

Just be aware that probating an estate can become complicated very quickly. The personal administrator can incur personal liability if not done property. If you receive a checklist from the court, follow it precisely. What you don't want to do is think you've concluded the estate and find out that creditors still exist that have to be paid.
