Apparently the contingencies have not been cured, so the contract on its face is voided. If you paid out earnest money, ask or sue in GS for it back. With that many serious problems, you knew it would not be executed. Suing for Specific Performance would be crazy. Buy elsewhere and hire... View More

You will need to hire an attorney to cure the title defect. A title search will be required first and then the attorney can analyze how to cure the title defect.

Not without your permanent agreement. But he can try to terminate the easement or file a declaratory judgment action on it. Having an easement in your chain of title is worthless as it must be in the servient estate's title.

Hire an attorney to sue the Trustee for the money. The surplus will not be as large as you think as the noteholder has all the discretion in adding up the total debt. You must sue fast, and collection of the judgment can be difficult.

Hire a competent attorney to file an Appeal De Novo to Circuit Court. That is a new trial. You only have a few days to file it, so hire an attorney tomorrow. You should have never filed such a case pro se.

Hire a TN attorney to search the title first. Unless the Will is Probated it means nothing. More than likely you are an heir. Dad's surviving spouse would be an heir also. If Mother was not a spouse, then she has no interest at all. You may need to file an Ejectment Action.
