What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee My mother died in late August . My brother is named executor in the will. The estate has well over $60,000 in cash and a home valued on the tax rolls at $67,000. My brother is under the impression that he does not have to go thru probate because there is a clause stating that no inventory needs to be submittted to the court and that Tennesseee Annotated code 35-50-110 be used.
The will states that the house be sold and split between the two of us as well as the remamining funds divided between the two of us.On another note, he collected all of her expensive jewelry of which the majority of he had given to her as gifts through the years. He claim it is all his since he bought it for her. Is that the way that it works?
So, the questions are:
Must the will go thru probate?
Does he retain pocession of all the jewelry?
