IN THE CHANCERY COURT FOR CROCKETT COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Docket No. 26-CH-11379
IN RE: ESTATE OF CHARLIE WILLIAMS,
Deceased.
MATTHEW R. WEST, administrator ad litem
for the Estate of Charlie Williams
v.
ROXIE WILLIAMS; DAVID BLAGG;
JIMMIE WILLIAMS; DORIS TANNER; and
All unknown heirs of CHARLIE WILLIAMS
Defendants.
ORDER ALLOWING SERVICE BY PUBLICATION
This matter came before the court upon the Plaintiff’s Motion for Service by Publication pursuant to TCA § 21-1-203 and TCA § 21-1-204. It appears from the allegations of the Complaint in this cause, the Motion for Service by Publication and statements made in court that Roxie Williams, David Blagg, and the unknown heirs of Charlie Williams cannot be served with ordinary process at law as, after diligent inquiry by the Plaintiff of the whereabouts of the said Defendants, their whereabouts cannot be ascertained.
It is therefore ORDERED the Chancellor has decreed that Roxie Williams, David Blagg, and all unknown heirs of Charlie Williams shall enter an appearance thirty (30) days after the last publication of this Order and file an answer to the Complaint, or judgment by default shall be taken against said Defendants for the relief demanded in the Complaint. The same shall be served on the Plaintiff’s counsel in the address below. A copy of this Order shall be published for four consecutive weeks in The Crockett County Times, located at 40 S. Court St., Alamo, TN 38001.
Entered this 5th day of August, 2026.
