Are you a licensed real estate agent, auctioneer or an attorney? If not you probably cannot enforce whatever agreement you made, and could be charged with crimes. There is no such thing as wholesaling real property so I suspect you do not have a license. You may be lucky to get quantum... View More

Is the surviving spouse a surviving tenant by the entirety? If not, he probably owns only a 1/3 interest. Does he have a lawyer? Surviving Spouse must assert rights timely. Timely Appeal may be appropriate. He needs an attorney to advise and act.
The court and the executor and the executor's attorney are all denying that he is entitled Homestead. Writes, they basically are claiming like those rights. Don't exist that these are a fabrication that he does not know what he's talking about. There are no Homestead rights that a... View More

Marriage alone does not generate a Homestead Exemption. Hire a lawyer to search the title to determine ownership, and examine Will for a Contest. It does not sound good. Surviving Spouse needs a lawyer to claim a year's worth of support by Statute.
I filed the motion, paid the tax, it was not disputed by the tax sale purchaser, but now they say I need to file an order of redemption, for which I cannot find an online example. Appreciate any help possible.

Hire an attorney. The redemption order has to be right, and you may need a deed after a title search. Deed must reference Order.

The Partition Sale may not work because lack of equity. Your lawyer needs to make an estimate of this. If it is not economically feasible then it will be dismissed. Your lawyer can move the Court for a trial date, and it is usually a simple trial. You are trying to get an order for sale for... View More

You can hire an attorney to search the title and examine the Probate Case to evaluate it yourself. Sometimes some heirs are not cooperative, but could be persuaded. But sometimes the title is bad and cannot be properly conveyed. Claims may be affecting the solvency of the Estate, or... View More

Where is your attorney? He needs to object to the sale, which is probably to pay his and his attorney's fees. You should have already claimed a year's support and other items, but it is too late now. Obviously you do not know what to do. Hire a competent TN attorney now.
and wasn't working, I called the hospital and asked them to work with me until I received disability. Not much after that I was served with papers to appear in court. They wouldn't even work with me. This was in 2016, is there a statute of limitations?

A Lien from a Judgment attaches to your real property for 10 years from date of judgment once it is recorded. It can be extended for another 10 years or the Judgment Creditor might execute upon your property or wages.

There is not a different code for each year. Find the chapters for the Statutes addressing most of the law you are looking for. Then read the end of each Statute for revisions. Start with the present TCA, then look for any changes made from 2002 forward. The older law will apply in 2001.

Defendant would probably argue 3 year property tort SOL. Plaintiff could argue 7 year SOL. Arguing no notice will be hard with public records. Tax Statutes will have some impact also.

You can notify seller of breach of contract if nothing like that is in contract. But you need to read it closely. Seller could still sue for specific performance, but doubtful. You will probably lose earnest money. Ask to pay a lower price.
