Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Tennessee

real estate purchase

we puchased a house in tn, that was autioned off by my aunts and uncles in nov 2004, this was property that was to include an outbuilding that sits at the corner of driveway. however, come to find out my aunt puchased a portion of the land above the driveway from my grandmother in 1998, which this states on my grandmothers survey, come to find out the lawyer in which the deed was redone by used the wrong survey for the land that my aunt purchased, now she has a deed saying she owns the building and the land it sits on, we have 5 witnesses that gave a diposition that the building and the land were included in the sale of the house and 3 of them say no, is there any chance that i could get the building and property back if i go to court, my aunt has admitted to me that she knew it wasn't hers and she would give it back when she moved her mobile home onto her lot, now she refuses and says shes going to keep it, her lawyer is the same lawyer my grandmother used when she had the deed changed when she sold a portion of the lot above the driveway to my aunt, this was done without a new survey done, help me please i feel i have been ripped off... do i have a legal leg to stand on .. thank you for your advise....

Re: real estate purchase

If the property were located in Virginia, you would need to engage the services of an attorney knowledgeable in the law of real property to file suit "to quiet title" in the circuit court where the property is located.

I asume that the process would be similar in Tennessee.
