Tennessee SB1127 modifies estate laws to authorize the payment of up to $10,000 directly to the surviving spouse or children of a deceased individual from funds held by an employer or other entity. If the funds exceed $10,000, the excess must be paid to the personal representative or as ordered by the court. The act also mandates that any wages or compensation owed to a deceased employee be paid directly to the surviving spouse or children if no personal representative is appointed within six months of the employee's death. This act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
