Petition For Testate Administration {078P}

Form 078P - PETITION FOR TESTATE ADMINISTRATION. This form is filed in the Chancery Court of Hamilton County, Tennessee, Probate Division, used when a person dies with a valid will (i.e., testate). This petition allows a qualified person, typically a family member or named executor, to request that the court officially recognize the decedent’s will and appoint a personal representative to carry out the terms of the will. The petition identifies the decedent’s date and place of death, last residence, and the proposed personal representative, who must be willing, qualified, and able to furnish bond if required. It provides information about the will, including the execution date and witnesses, and affirms that the petitioner is not aware of any newer or revoking documents. It lists all devisees and legatees named in the will, along with any heirs-at-law who would inherit if there were no will, noting those under legal disability or subject to a conservatorship or guardianship. The petitioner also reports the estimated value of the estate’s assets, distinguishes between probate and non-probate property, and confirms whether the decedent had any ongoing business or was enrolled in TennCare, which may require special notice. The petitioner requests that the will be admitted to probate, that letters of testate administration be issued, and that the court waive or allow time for required filings such as an inventory or affidavits of notice to TennCare and beneficiaries. www.FormsWorkflow.com
