If you pass away without a will in Tennessee, the court will determine who gets custody of your minor children. The court typically looks to:

• The Surviving Parent: Custody usually goes to the surviving parent if they are deemed fit.
• Other Family Members: If no parent is available, the court may appoint a close family member as a guardian, considering the child's best interests.
