I have absolutely no idea what this is about

Those are criminal offenses of interfering with the conduct of the Government. Bribery, Tampering With Evidence, Bringing Drugs into a Jail...etc. I am not sure what is going on, but I would advise taking them to a competent attorney. Sometimes speed can help in defending against a criminal... View More

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
However, my mom is executor and she has not told me exactly what was stated in the will. How can I get a copy if I’m not executor but someone who is named in the will?
answered on Oct 1, 2020
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.

A Tennessee attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, if it was a public campground with park rangers having jurisdiction in the area, they probably could for a justifiable reason. For a private facility, it might depend on the facts -... View More
I have the paper where he signed I just haven’t had time to go to the dmv and get it changed over.

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...

how do you check on a application for concealed permit after you have taken the written test , fire range test, finger printing and paid application at driver station. also after filing appeal on purchase of a hand gun denial?
answered on Aug 31, 2020
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.
He never asked for lot rent. Can he legally make me move out of my own trailer.
answered on Jul 22, 2020
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.
Their court date was today but they also went to a funeral today and it slipped their mind so would it be better to turn themselves in in the morning or now

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.

Certainly since we have no concealed weapon laws in Tennessee. Handgun Carry Permits work with or without the virus mess.
I live in Tennessee. I receive mail here and its the address on my I.d.

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.
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.
answered on Jun 6, 2020
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.
Have the charges dropped. The order of protection was lifted. I never appeared for follow up court dates and just want it dropped. The DA’s office said I had to appear in person. I have not been served a subpoena and just want this to go away for me and my stepson. Just a bad day but he... View More

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. But this type of Assault is serious and your StepSon needs a competent attorney to represent him. He needs it Diverted or Dismissed, then... View More

Yes

Yes, there are potentially Theft Of Property Charges present. The Next-Of-Kin should report him to the Sheriff.
There was no will. Veterans Administration sent a check to last known address made payable to the estate. Bank would not cash. VA wants proof that wife is the sole heir before they will reissue check. How does she prove she is the sole heir?
answered on Apr 24, 2020
Hire a competent attorney to draft and execute an Affidavit of Heirship. It should also state who the sole Next-Of -Kin is (the same person as the heir). If it is a substantial sum, record it first, then send it to the VA with a letter requesting the check be reissued in the name of the sole... View More

I'm sorry for your ordeal. If this is a medical facility, try to get in touch with the administrative staff or social workers. It could be difficult to get through due to many facilities operating short-handed, and medical professionals being in acute short supply. If her commitment is related... View More

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.

Some General Sessions Courts have a form for Action To Recover Personal Property. Many do not but should have a form for a Civil Warrant, which you would type in the prayer for an Action To Recover Personal Property. This action may require a Bond, coordination with the Sheriff, or may need a... View More

Start calling the Criminal Court Clerk there in that County and State and ask by the Defendant's Name and Birthdate.
This is a man who is obsessed with my girlfriend and has done awful things such as leaving an anonymous voicemail to our landlord trying to get us evicted. etc. He calls asks for me, and doesn't leave a name. It happens at least once a week. He was warned by his job not to meddle in our lives... View More

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.
