Re: Probate time limitation for any claim

Once an estate is opened, four months notice to creditors in the newspaper is the law in Tennessee. If no claim against tht estate is filed during the four month time span, the claim is normally barred. Medicaid (known as Tenncare in Tennessee) has one year from the date of death to file a claim against an estate in Tennessee or else the claim is barred.
