Expansion of Homestead Exemptions for Disabled Adult Children
Under this new law, a homestead exemption now extends to an adult child who is 18 or older and has a developmental or intellectual disability upon the death of the head of the household in Tennessee. Previously, such exemptions were limited to specific family members without considering disabilities. This change affects families with disabled adult children by providing them additional protection for their home after the loss of a parent.
