The short answer to that is no. If you die without a will or a trust that specifically says that you are leaving everything to your spouse, Tennessee and testasy laws would then determine how your property will be divided. So if you died without any children, then your spouse would inherit the entire estate. However, if you died with surviving children, then your spouse would receive approximately a third of your estate and the remaining twothirds would be divided between your living children or their descendants.
