Tenn. Code Ann. § 30-2-416: Purchaser's remedy when satisfaction of judgment and sale is set aside at instance of heirs

In all cases in which the heirs, or devisees, of a deceased person, whose real estate has been sold for the satisfaction of the deceased's debts, by virtue of proceedings under §§ 30-2-409 - 30-2-415, institute suit for the recovery of the real estate against the purchaser, in consequence of failure to serve the scire facias personally on the minor heirs, the court rendering the judgment, upon the application of the purchaser, shall set aside the satisfaction of the original judgment or execution, and thereupon the original judgment shall be revived, and may be enforced by the purchaser against the real estate in the same way as the original judgment could have been enforced by the original creditor.
