A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. Don't do it. You can't tell it's abandoned by looking at it. Abandonment occurs when the rightful owner relinquishes their rights in property - the fact that it doesn't look valuable or that it... View More

If the Will is filed at Probate, then go to the Court and look at the file. If it is not Probated, then the Will has no effect, and your Grandmother died intestate where the Heirs take the land and the Next of Kin take her personal property.

Unsure of your question. Title is not transferred until the State DOS issues a new Certificate of Title. You can claim an ownership interest in a forfeiture proceeding if you timely assert your claim. Getting sued in tort for a wreck is sometimes defended if actual possession is not transferred...

If you filed the Appeal, really a Declaratory Judgment Action, the State must put on grounds to continue the denial or agree to the issuance. Usually a cryptic charge with a date is given the applicant. Apparently something is wrong and you need an attorney.

If you do not leave, the owner will have to file either a Detainer Warrant or an Ejectment action against you. Your trailer may or may not be considered a fixture/improvement to the property. You should have expected this long ago.

Your Friend needs an attorney, who will bring him to Court at the first available Hearing day. Then his file can be located and the situation explained. He wants to do this before a capia or fta issues, or worse, a bounty hunter comes after him.

The owner can file a Detainer Warrant against you, and then prosecute it for possession. If you are charged criminally or sued under an Order of Protection, then LEO's will remove you alot sooner.

Q: Do eviction laws apply to my son?

My son is an alcoholic and has been in residential treatment for 30 days and I was going to evict him but I was told by a paralegal that since he's been gone for 30 days I don't have to evict him that I just don't have to let him back in.

To be safe, I suggest a written 30-Day Notice to evict . If your son remains on the property after 30 days , then you may proceed with the eviction process by filing a Summons and Complaint with the court.

The criminal charge is the State's Case, not yours. Since you have not been subpoenaed, you are not violating the Order of the Court by not showing up.

You may be an Heir At Law, and the Heirs are now the owners as Tenants In Common of the real property. Someone that knew her can execute and record an Affidavit of Heirship. This tells the world who the titled owners are, that is it becomes their source of title.

If you know who this person is, you could file for an order of protection. He may also be violating criminal laws so a call to the local DA's office may be an option as well.
