Remedies and Special Proceedings - As introduced, prevents a receivership proceeding from interfering with the rights of a superior interest holder in property subject to the receivership absent the express consent of the superior interest holder. - Amends TCA Title 29.
SB 1791 protects property owners with a prior claim (like a recorded mortgage or lien) that has priority over other claims on the same property from having their rights blocked by a court-ordered receivership. The bill prevents receivership proceedings from interfering with these "superior interest" rights without the owner's written consent, defining "superior interest" as claims such as prior deeds of trust or financing statements. If a prior claim holder intervenes to prove their priority in a receivership case, they do not lose their rights by doing so and may recover attorney fees if successful. This change applies to all Tennessee receivership cases initiated after the law takes effect.
