Understanding the Importance of a Will
A will, also called a "last will and testament," helps an individual protect their family and their property after their death. A will can set forth guidelines for:
- leaving their property to people or organizations;
- naming a personal guardian to care for their minor children;
- naming a trusted person to manage property they leave to minor children; and
- naming an executor, the person who makes sure that the terms of the will are carried out.
To finalize a will in Tennessee, individuals must sign the will in front of two witnesses, and the witnesses in turn must sign the document in front of the person and each other. It is not required to notarize a will to make it legal in the state, though Tennessee allows people to make their will "self-proving," which will require a trip to a notary. A benefit of a self-proving will is that it can speed up the probate process.
Individuals may revoke or change their will at any time by destroying all or part of their will or making another will that says it revokes all or part of the old will. To learn more about this process, visit our page on Wills in Tennessee for specific details.
