Tennessee HB0755 amends estate laws to require direct payment of wages to surviving spouses or children of deceased employees.
Tennessee HB0755 modifies estate laws to mandate that employers pay any wages or compensation owed to a deceased employee directly to the surviving spouse or, if none, to the surviving children as tenants in common. If six months pass without a personal representative being appointed, other persons holding funds for the decedent can pay up to $10,000 directly to the surviving spouse or children. Amounts exceeding $10,000 must be paid to the personal representative or as directed by the court. This act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
