Terms Used In Tennessee Code 20-5-105

  • Decedent: A deceased person.
  • Representative: when applied to those who represent a decedent, includes executors and administrators, unless the context implies heirs and distributees. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105

If the decedent has parted with the decedent’s interest pending the suit, it may be revived by or against the successor in interest instead of the representative or heir.
