A: Has the Will been Probated? Until a Probate Action is instituted, there is no Will nor Executor. If Probate is going on, then you need to check the file at Chancery Court. Read it verbatim. It generally takes at least 15 months to close a Probate in TN, and often much longer. You may wish to hire an attorney to represent your interests.
