What is the Elective Share for a Surviving Spouse under Tennessee Law?

After notice and a hearing, the court determines the appropriate elective share and orders its distribution to the surviving spouse. If property has already been distributed, the recipients may be required to contribute a pro rata share to satisfy the surviving spouse’s elective share.

Tennessee law also provides surviving spouses with a number of additional important rights and benefits. Please contact us today online or by calling 800.705.2121 to discuss your legal options.
