Testifying In Estate Disputes

Full Conversation

I bought living room suit from decedent and then let him borrow it. He died and his mother will not let me have it. Should i sue eatate or sue her because she is in possession of my property. She knows i purchased it
You may consider suing the estate directly as your dispute involves property that belonged to the decedent. However, Tennessee law may require certain documentation to prove your ownership. Can you provide any evidence of your purchase or agreement with the decedent?
No, i have her text offering to pay me the purchase price back
Based on your situation, here are a few points to consider:
- You can use the text as evidence of acknowledging your ownership.
- Consider suing the estate since the property originally belonged to the decedent.
- Consult with a Tennessee attorney for specific advice tailored to your case.
Am i allowed to sue her as an individual
Yes, you can sue an individual in Tennessee if they're in possession of your property unlawfully. However, it may be beneficial to consult with an attorney first to understand the best course of action for your situation.
