Your question is very astute. I assume that you are concerned about this from your grandfather's perspective rather than your own, though you did not say one way or the other. The chances are good that Tenncare will look at this as two separate transactions because it sounds like they are... View More

No competent real property litigator would take such a difficult case for free. You will have to hire an attorney as it will be a hard case to win in Chancery.

Read the recorded Deed of Trust, and a copy of the Note if available. Usually acceleration occurs, then default. Then three foreclosure notices in the paper before the Courthouse door sale. Usually anywhere from 45 days to 4 months.

That is probably an Easement By Implication. But unless Grandmother put down an express easement in the others' chains of titles, or there is a recorded subdivision plat, you will have to go to Chancery to have it declared in force if the other adjoining landowners cut you off.
