There are several different types of probate proceedings, depending on the size of the estate and how it is held or titled. Formal probate is the process of proving a will is valid in court. Informal probate is a more simplified process that does not involve court proceedings.
While it may be tempting to handle the probate process without professional assistance, hiring an experienced attorney in Tennessee can significantly benefit the executor and beneficiaries.
Thus, a straightforward, uncontested will could complete the probate process in as little as six months. On the other hand, the estate of a person who died without a will or whose will is contested could take many more months or even years to probate.
The Petition for Probate of Will and Letters Testamentary is requesting for the court to validate the Will and formally appoint the Executor. Once this is done, the court authorizes the Executor to oversee the process of distributing assets and property to beneficiaries per the instructions provided in the Will.
In Tennessee, estates with basic checking and savings accounts worth less than $15,000 do not have to go through the probate process for those assets to be distributed to heirs. In cases where an estates assets are worth less than $50,000, a court administration process is available to distribute the assets.

Then, the probate clerk publishes a notification to creditors of the death, while the lawyer, executor, or personal representative sends notifications to any known creditors.
In Tennessee, an estate must be worth more than $50,000 in order to go through the full probate process.
