Complete·4/6/26

SB1910 amends Tennessee trust and estate laws, including will probate, trustee duties, and confidentiality of trust information.

SB1910 amends Tennessee trust and estate laws by modifying the criteria for proving a will to be admitted to probate. It allows a will to be admitted if it could be probated in the state where it was signed, under the law of the testator's domicile, or in a manner prescribed by specific sections. The bill also changes the definition of "Second trust" and modifies the rights of qualified beneficiaries. Additionally, it allows the attorney general and reporter to exercise the rights of a qualified beneficiary for charitable trusts.
