Legal Answers
1 Questions Answered
- Q. How to manage estate planning for elderly parents with no will in TN?
- A: I am sorry you are in this situation. Unfortunately, if your mother does not have testamentary capacity, which she likely does not given her condition, she generally cannot execute a will or powers of attorney. Your best bet in terms of managing your mother's affairs is seeking a conservatorship. Additionally, to whom her (or his) property would go after she passes would depend on several factors, including her marital status at death. Her debts could also render the estate insolvent. I would definitely talk to an attorney about this matter to try to head these issues off at the pass.
