Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Tennessee
To settle an estate, a piece of property needed to be sold. A buyer was found. The Probate Attorney and the Buyer are one in the same. A deed was prepared by this Attorney and the Heirs signed such awaiting a closing. After almost four months, no closing has be held although the Buyer gave the Attorney a check for the agreed price and received the signed deed which he duly registered and took procession
of the property. Attempts to contact the Attorney are met by his office personal with the reply that they will have to confer with him. Something is wrong with this picture. Please advise.

You question doesn't include your role in the mix. Assuming you are an heir or a devisee (either of these may receive a distribution once claims and admin costs are paid) or the Personal Representative, you should contact an attorney (a separate one) and ask that attorney to formally make inquiry.
Its confusing to hear that the money has been exchanged and the deed delivered but there's "been no closing". That's what normally happens at the closing.
This forum is not the best to resolve the question. However, based upon the facts you give, something is amiss here.
Hope this helps.
