You will need to hire a competent attorney. Heirship determination will be according to the State of death. An interpreter may be needed. India's laws will control the Deed's terms and recordation if a Deed is needed.
The trees are on the property line so they are on both properties.

You will want to ascertain the Boundary as accurately as possible. Read your's and the adjacent owner's Deeds. Usually you will want to make the trees part of the fence, but you can probably cut them. But do not be surprised if a Boundary Dispute erupts.

Actions for a Sale For Partition are filed alot. She can sell her Tenant In Common Interest, do nothing or get sued for Partition.

Hire a very competent attorney to search the title. It sometimes clears the title to buy at a Tax Sale, but again you will need an attorney to draft a Deed. Determining Heirship might get you close to a purchase.
I am having a surveyor coming out. I did find out however my neighbor did not have a land survey before building the house.

Apparently you do not know your boundaries at this point. Your allowing a house to be built on your land without protest will be used against you. Hire a competent surveyor now, then take the plat to a competent attorney. It will be difficult and expensive, with the minimum result of a Boundary... Read more »

You need to first determine whether your husband is the sole heir of the property. If his parents are alive, or there are siblings, this will help determine options. Typically, when someone dies without a will, property is passed to the next of kin by statute. The heir files an affidavit of... Read more »

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 »

Not sure of your question. But if they have no source of title, then the grantor cannot convey. There could be a felony involved for a totally wild deed. But worse they may claim some authority, and you will have to file a very difficult, expensive case in Chancery to set aside the fraudulent... Read more »

You are not "required" to use an attorney to purchase real estate in Tennessee. However, I would encourage you to consider using a real estate agent. There may be issues you are not familiar with that a real estate agent may be able to help with. You also may want to use or talk to a... Read more »

Action to Recover Personal Property in General Sessions Court. Bond will probably be required, so determine if the stolen items are worth it.

It is very possible that you are not the owner. And if not, you may only have a possessory interest as a homestead, if that. Hire a competent attorney to conduct a title search and determine ownership. Title Insurance rules wanting both spouses to sign is not law nor legally required.
I am buying a rent-to-own home in TN. I have not signed a contract. Can I be charged a late fee, for first late payment?
answered on Apr 7, 2022
You may want to rethink this transaction. The landlord will probably keep whatever money you pay him and file a Detainer Warrant.
I am buying a home in Tennessee. I put $10,000 down on a rent-to-own home. Payments will be $880 per month (including insurance), owner carrying the balance of $85000. I can pay off early with no penalty. I have not signed a contract yet, what should I make sure is included in the contract?
answered on Apr 7, 2022
This is a complex question. Depends on what you ultimately want. Land contracts are usually complicated. Take any proposed contract to an attorney to discuss your wants and needs and to make suggestions.

An agreed sale and deed are probably your only option besides hiring an attorney to prosecute an action for a Sale for Partition. There the Heirs At Law will split the net proceeds of the Sale. You cannot file a Detainer Warrant against another Tennant In Common.

If the lender demands the spouse's obligation on the Note, then that is their prerogative. You may have to borrow somewhere else.
