It appears that Probate Court has no jurisdiction here. Apparently there was a Deed. What grounds would you have to set aside the conveyance in Chancery?
My mother died last week and my sister has a copy of a will that leaves her everything. She may have the original but I have not seen it. Will there have to be a reading or anything else to prove a valid will?

The "reading of the will" is something that happens in movies for dramatic effect. It is not something that happens in real life. In real life the way a will is proven is through a process called probate, which is a type of court case. The person who has possession of the will is... View More

As a practical matter, the personal property is probably gone. But that Deed is interesting. You need to search the title and check the taxes. It might be a very good case for a Partition Action. You will have to hire a competent TN attorney that knows real property litigation.

Was the Mother's Will filed for Probate? If so, go to Probate Court and read the Will and File. If not, then the Will has no effect. The Sister could then file for an Administration if needed, but she needs the advice of a competent attorney.

If the Sister also inherited from the Parent, then 1/3 of the net proceeds. I doubt your
Sister is an actual mediator. You may want to hire an attorney to determine heirship, place it of record, then help push the Partition Sale along.
Agreed

You will not receive an Annulment by agreement, and it almost inconceivable you will obtain one in any case. I have actually done one in 34 years of practice. Hire an attorney to get an Irreconcilable Differences Divorce.

After being appointed by the probate court, the executor has the power to collect all of the decedents assets, including obtaining court orders to third parties to turn them over to the executor.

Yes, your husband should be able to see his daughter even though he is not current on child support. If you petition the court to enforce his parenting time with his daughter, however, beware that the mother could retaliate by coming after him for unpaid child support.
There are no transcripts of any hearing of my case available, however, the clerk's notes clearly state the judge's ruling. Can this be used to support the reason a motion was denied?

If you are filing an Appeal, you can file a Statement of the Evidence under the Appellate Rules. If a Rule 59 Motion, then just ask the Court to order what you think should be the exact ruling.
Termination of alimony was denied and appealed, then reversed and remanded back to court. How long can this be heard in the trial court? Is there a statute?

Unless the Court of Appeals placed a time on the matter being heard, it will be docketed like all other cases for the county.

However Discovery is not available in General Sessions Court, so you may not get it until he is Indicted. If still at Sessions, prepare for a vigorous Preliminary Hearing, especially if... View More

Hi, if the biological parents of the child have left the child with you for an extended period of time, you can petition the court for emergency protective custody on the basis that the child is dependent and neglected.
The father had 4 children. 2 are adults now, 1 other and mine are minors. At time of death the father was still paying child support. The sister n law has been given Administratrix over the estate. I read somewhere that child support would have to still be paid up and would come out of the estate... View More

You need to make a claim in the probate case, and don't delay because there are very short deadlines. You should hire an attorney to help you with this.

Hi, it sounds like you may need to contact an attorney in the State of Georgia, because this is the home state of the child. I recommend Jack Strother, III in Savannah, GA. I worked with him when I lived there, and I even hired him to do my own divorce. Mr. Strother has handled child custody cases... View More

It probably has no legal effect. It might be used to cross examine the other owner in Court, but again it is basically worthless. Alot of properties require Titles, like land and cars. Hire an attorney to advise you.

If you do not have a contractual right to possession, the lessor/owner can file a Detainer

It depends. Generally, the TPP is in effect until a Permanent Parenting Plan is reached via agreement or Trial. Some TPP's have dates defined in them. Most do not. Its a Court Order so it will be valid until it is modified. I hope this helps.

You may consult with a local family law attorney and see if there is anything else that can be done. In general an attorney filing a notice of unavailability will result in the hearing being continued until the next available date. This sounds like your divorce has been dragged out.
