How long until the court sends out checks if there was an order to release funds?

I should think it would be within about a month. Hopefully, there is someone who will follow up with the court to make sure this happens. You may also need to get receipt forms or waivers prepared. The last time we had this happen, it took about a month for the court to release the money.

If step mother wants nothing and be taken out of will, will she still be entitled to anything if she's not in the will?

Estate Planning lawyer at Strickland Law, PLLC
In Tennessee, even if she is not included in the will, she is entitled to a certain percentage of the estate based upon length of marriage, and other items. If the spouse is still alive, they can complete an anti-nuptial agreement. If the spouse is deceased, she can disclaim her right to any asset. She needs to confer with counsel.
