In Tennessee, wrongful death proceeds are distributed under the laws of intestate succession. Kline v. Eyrich, 69 S.W.3d 197, 202 n.3 (Tenn. 2002).
Also, the proceeds pass free of creditors' claims. Tenn. Code Ann. sec. 20-5-106 (a),(b). There may, however, be exceptions to this premise: namely, Medicare subrogation, etc.
