She passed away with no will, but 1 living parent and that parent wants the house. Is she required to legally evict us through the court. State of TN
The Parent will have to file a Detainer Warrant against both of you. The Warrant must be served or posted, heard until a Judgment is rendered, and if you are not out of possession within ten days, get a Writ of Possession executed by the Sheriff.
Both owners have died and no one has claimed the land or paid taxes on it in at least 3 years. How can someone else legally acquire the property?

Ultimately you may be able to get a Deed from the owners or buy at the Tax Sale, for which you will need an attorney to actually put the property in... Read more »

The only possible lien would be a Mechanics and Materialman's Lien. I do not think that your situation will qualify, but you might hire a competent lawyer.

You have a very legitimate concern, and the lender should not have documented the loan this way, but that is water under the bridge. You can create a new deed from your wife to both of you. Under federal law, the lender will NOT have the right or ability to call the loan due as a result of that... Read more »
Yes it can be done. But the one parent surviving may not own the fee. You need a lawyer to determine heirship, then you will know who the owner(s)/grantor(s) are. The legal descriptions can be multiple or just one, but different properties may have different owners.

Back on the market with the sale of home contingency. Does the seller have the right to remove the home from the market and back out of the contract instead of placing the home back on the market if those deadlines are not met in the agreement?
You will need a competent attorney to read your contract and then advise you. Even if there are terms breached, it is up to you to enforce the contract. It may not be prudent to sue or possibly impossible to collect upon a judgment.
The house is located on the property. Does the contents of the house belong to all 7 on the deed or just the 5 children that grew up in the house?
You say She left the property, but no Probated Will is involved.
