There is a lot more to this than simply getting notice of Delinquent Taxes. Hire a competent attorney to search the Title. The Redemption period is probably past, but the alleged owner may only have a Bill of Sale, not a Deed. An Ejectment Action may be possible. The legal description should... Read more »

The Estate Fiduciary has to file suit against the Trustee that conducted the Sale for the Surplus. Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Conversion, and maybe others.

Usually the Deed of Trust says you are month to month tenant owing rent. The new owner will file a Detainer Warrant to recover possession, which will take a month to three months to complete.
None

Contact the trustee that conducted the sale. He will be the grantor in the deed to the highest bidder. Suing for a surplus is difficult but possible, usually on large land tracts.
But that might be the only way to get the trustee's attention.

Looks to me like the statute of limitations in Tennessee is one year. If it is over a year you can't proceed. Contact attorneys who handle "police misconduct." You need exact dates.

If the owners do not wish to transfer the property to you, then no. It is their property subject to the Deed of Trust. If the Note is not paid, foreclosure will occur where you might make a bid. If taxes are not paid, then after a while the County will have a tax sale. This is not a tract... Read more »

Unless it is in your Lease there is no such prohibition. You may wish to find a leasehold elsewhere. A Buyer will take subject to your Lease, I would expect to not stay there much longer. A potential personal injury suit is not going to happen because it would be impossible to prove. causation.

You can request the Clerk issue the Levy, but it will probably cost some money. Your Lien is good 10 years from judgment date, unless extended. The Judgment (certified copy) should be filed in Register's Office where the property lies, so it will then be a Judgment Lien. The Debtor may... Read more »

Your facts do not make sense. But if you started a Probate, which may have not been necessary, then you should be getting your Letters Testamentary from Probate Court. Call the Court today. This will be your authority to act on behalf of the Estate. Insurance and Taxes have to be paid also.
answered on Jul 14, 2020
I have always treated that as a 3 year SOL, because you sue for Conversion and Tortious Breach of Fiduciary Duty. A 6 year Contract Breach SOL is doubtful but might be argued.

You are right to be scared. Do not do this without the assistance of an attorney. In addition, do not do this without the assurance of title insurance. An attorney or a title insurance company can tell you what steps will be required in order for you to obtain clear title in your particular case.

You need to leave as soon as possible. But the owner cannot obtain possession without a Detainer Warrant. It must be filed, served or posted, then a Judgment For Possession goes down in Court. If you are not out in 10 days, then the Owner gets the Sheriff to physically remove you with a Writ of... Read more »

Usually the Deficiency Suit will be barred after two years from the Foreclosure Sale, as it is the earliest SOL. Rarely will a Noteholder wait almost six years to Foreclose and then sue upon the remaining Note Indebtedness. Hopefully Tennessee Law applies to your Second Note, which is itself not... Read more »

What are your grounds? Any competent attorney will be expensive and you will probably have to put up a Bond to put down a Temporary Restraining Order.
