Tennessee will probably require some form of
administration there to insure there are no unpaid
creditors in that jurisdiction. This usually
amounts to a filing of the Will, death certificate
Order appointing personal representative in NC,
etc. and publishing for creditors. This activity
will also help establish what lawyers call a
"chain of title".

If someone dies as a resident of North Carolina,
the major probate proceeding is in North Carolina.
If the deceased owned real property in Tennessee,
what is known as an ancillary probate should also
take place in Tennessee.
