Inherent a house with out a will

[Charles Stubblefield]

My mother passed away back in may and she didn't have a lot but she did not have a will either. She did have a small house and land that are completely payed for. Only my sister and i are left of our family. I just don't know how to go about getting her house in our names without going through probate court or even if i can . We live in Tennessee if that helps.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you

I would seek advice from an attorney. I do know that in Tennessee affidavits of heirship can be used in some situations where there is no will, thus avoiding the probate process altogether.
