TN SB1935

Extends Tennessee homestead exemptions upon a family head's death to benefit adult children (18+) with developmental or intellectual disabilities, in addition to surviving spouses and minor children

Requires the qualifying adult child with a disability to use the property as their principal place of residence to maintain the exemption

When homestead property cannot be set apart, allows courts to direct $35,000 from sale proceeds to surviving spouses, minor children, or adult children with developmental or intellectual disabilities

Adopts definitions of "developmental disability" and "intellectual disability" from Tennessee Code § 52-1-101 for consistency across homestead exemption statutes
