We paid $3450 for this ROW and have been paying property taxes on that parcel of land. We have since sold 1.78 acres adjoining said ROW to... Read more »

Apparently you did not check the title. If not a warranty deed, no cause of action probably exists as a practical matter. With a WD, it will still be iffy. You might ask the Trustee for the taxes back, or even sue for them, but I doubt it will be successful.
It is my understanding that it is not enough for one party to prove he/she did not intend a binding contract but must prove that both parties agreed there was no binding contract between them. Is this correct in TN law?
answered on Jan 10, 2023
Both parties must agree to as to the formation of a contract - a unilateral "contract" generally would not be binding. But contracts can be formed by one party requesting an action and the other party performing and the performance is an acceptance- so your question's answer may be fact specific.
I am being sued in Chancery Court in a county that I do not live in. I have no means of transportation to the county of the lawsuit. What are my options for subpoena? Can I object based on distance?
answered on Jan 10, 2023
Nonavailability of transportation is not a legal defense. Hire an attorney to represent you and go from there upon his advice. At least file an Answer within 30 days of service, and call the Clerk & Master about this Case. If being sued for money, you probably need to examine your... Read more »
My aunt has weaseled her way into being the trustee because the original trustee not one of the beneficiaries turned it down and named her. My aunt named her husband as her successor trustee and her husband named the original trustee who turned it down.

Who created the Trust? The Settlor appoints his Trustee/ Successors in the Trust. Have you read it? The Trustee may be able to appoint his Successor. Are you a Trust Beneficiary? If not, you lack standing. Otherwise you can file suit in Chancery for an Accounting, Removal For Cause, etc.... Read more »

And I have been told by a good source that he's just doing this to make me pay for something I did not do I want to sue
answered on Jan 3, 2023
Have you been served with a civil warrant? If not, you might forget about it until sued. Generally a 6 yr SOL. If worried, then make him a cash offer if you received a shed.
I paid for legal services with a credit card for an individual with the agreement being that said individual would pay the payments. Now this person refuses to pay.
answered on Jan 3, 2023
Depending on the amount owed, this would probably be a small claim in general sessions court. There are civil warrants available online that you can fill out and file with the clerk's office at the county courthouse. A clerk can also walk you through how to complete the paperwork. Although,... Read more »

Some civil cases can result in contempt, usually domestic or collections oriented. But usually default judgments are entered. What kind of case is it?

I was fired from a local company and the reason was they found out I was in recovery and said via text “we can’t have you come back with your history of drug abuse. We are afraid you’ll steal”. I have asked this question multiple time and can’t get a response. Do I have any legal action?
answered on Dec 6, 2022
Unless there is a contract, all TN employment is terminable at will of the employer. No action exists.

Unless you put a Lien on the Title, a non-judicial repossession is out. Sue in General Sessions for the Debt, then possibly execute upon the car if a bank account is not available. If you still hold Title, then file an Action to Recover Personal Property, also in Sessions.

Creditors can argue it was a necessity, or that you cosigned. If sued, hire an attorney to defend you. This happens alot, and they will wear you out in Court until you finally try it.

You can file suit for Conversion in General Sessions Court, but I doubt it is worth the trouble. Even with a Judgment, then you have to collect. Their position obviously has some merit, since it is your credit that was not sufficient.

File a Detainer Warrant now at General Sessions Court. I would forget about rent and sue for possession only, unless you really think you can collect. Service/Posting is Notice To Quit.

Sure. Attorneys will often send demand letters. Use the search function to find a local construction attorney to help you out.

You probably have already busted the SOL. Especially since some representative must file suit. Talk to a lawyer today, but understand you are probably too late.
