Knox County offices involved
- Probate
- Probate is handled by the Knox County Chancery Court, Probate Division, at the City-County Building at 400 Main Street downtown.

Probate in Tennessee typically runs 6-12 months; a house can be sold during probate with court approval or by the executor once appointed.
