How was money left for you? If you actually owned the money then sue Bank for Conversion in Sessions Court. You probably have to prove you are sole Next of Kin.
We are faced with this occasionally. There is less than $15000 in an account, no funeral expenses, or last medical bills, no surviving spouse, and multiple children. Do we split the funds between the next of kin or does it go to the first one that contacts us?

You have to comply with the Intestate Succession Statutes T.C.A. Sections 31-2-101 et seq. Claims against a Decedent are rarely your concern, and you will know one by a Court Levy. Giving money to the first claimant all the time will get you sued for Conversion. Hire a competent attorney on... View More

You will probably need a TN attorney to get the Clerk and the Sheriff to execute a Levy against the firm's Bank Account. It would be necessary to know what Bank they use. There are Fees for each Levy. You apparently have a Judgment but now you have 10 years to collect.

The assets that are counted for determining whether the estate is under the small estate affidavit limit would NOT include the "jointly" owned house or vehicle, but there is a process that needs to take place to get those retitled.

If you put a Deed of Trust against that real property, the lender will foreclose immediately upon any default, not just non payment of the Note. I recommend not borrowing against the home and do not suffer a Judgment against you. The Judgment will be executed against the property.
there’s 3 different charges, one going back 3 years. i heard that they go away after “7 years off being on your credit report.”
answered on Feb 27, 2021
Broad question- "what happens to whom?"
A financial institution's "charge-off" is an internal accounting and regulatory function; a charge-off by your lender in no way affects or reduces your legal obligation to repay the debt.
The length of time an... View More

No.. You gave them a check, and they cashed it at their leisure. This happens all the time, and the payee is not breaking a law by negotiating the paper early. You could try to sue the payee for breach of contract, but it is not advisable.

It likely does not mean that. Don't worry, it doesn't mean you weren't approved either.

I settled over an $800+ bill in court and paid it off. Now the same collection agency on behalf of the same hospital, is saying i owe another $1900+ from previous service dates before the aforemention $800+ bill. Is this even legal? What should i do?
answered on Aug 11, 2020
Could be legal. Sounds like you only settled one bill. Without seeing the other bills, it's hard to say whether they can collection for various issues including statutes of limitations. Consult local counsel to best determine your options.
I was wondering if this would be a good place to start asking questions and if not, is there another chat forum that I could utilize to get a better understanding about this particular career field?

The reason this free legal advice forum was created is to allow people who have legitimate legal questions to ask the Justia panel of experienced lawyers, who decide whether or not to answer.

I have no idea what you are asking for, but start calling around for a lawyer to help you. Most attorneys will either help you or refer to somebody else that can. You can look around for websites, but you really need to talk to one either on the phone or in person.

If your name is solely on the checking account then your mom is not allowed to take the money without your permission. If she does, it can be considered theft and you can call the police and report it. If it is a joint checking account with your mom's name then it is her account as much as... View More

Hire a competent attorney that understands notes and exemptions. Few know how to exempt property, which is what you should do now and in the future for at least 10 years. The attorney should attempt to make the contract debt as painless as possible, then properly exempt your chosen personal... View More

The contract can have whole statutes or partial statutes. It can be whatever the draftsman wants and the parties agree. Hire a competent attorney to examine it and see if it is enforceable, complete, unambiguous and non-contradicting.
foreclosure, because they owe $27,000. As the property owner what are my options?
answered on Sep 9, 2019
If the bank is threatening foreclosure- that usually means they have a lien on the property, and if you acquired that property by inheritance, you acquired the property SUBJECT to the Banks lien: this means that if you want to keep the property, you will have to pay the loan. You don't owe the... View More
