More details to this question:
My wife recently passed away intestate. We bought our 1st house in June 2011, her name is the only name on the deed and mortgage. She has a credit card which is still owed about 4k and a student loan which is still owed about 7k. Her only asset is a 2001 model Mitsubishi.
I''m 36 and my wife was 31 when she passed away. I''ve never had to deal with anything like this before in my life and am just looking for a finger to point me in the right direction. Thanks for any information provided.

You have my sympathies on your loss at such a young age. Still, you do have to probate your wife's estate. Only in the probate process can the title to the house and car be changed, and a legal ruling made about her debts. Fortunately, probate in Tennessee is much easier than in other states.Even though Tennessee's process is streamlined, it can still be complicated when there is no Will, so I recommend your first step is to hire an experienced Tennessee probate attorney now.
