That would be an assignment not a release. The noteholder is the one to get paid and who gives a release when paid off, which may not be who is servicing the Deed of Trust. Hire an AZ attorney to represent you because you are about to make very serious mistakes.

Consult with an AZ attorney to read your contract and give you his estimation of the possibilities of suit for specific performance. If you were given earnest money, that might be forfeited only. Agent commissions are often the main liability.

Among other considerations, your brother had to knowingly know what he was doing without undue influence. It sounds like there may be issues with this transfer. You may want to consult with an experienced probate litigation attorney.

You can send a demand letter to both offices. But if you file suit, you must serve the Registered Agent. Get more information about the LLC first.

That is a Boundary Line Dispute. You must hire an attorney to search both titles, get a surveyor witness and file suit or you will acquiesce to the new fence as your boundary. The taxes help but are not absolutely determinative.

Your question is not as straightforward as you would think. It will depend how the houses are acquired as well. I would recommend you work with an estate planning attorney to design a strategy to accomplish your goals. A beneficiary deed will not necessarily accomplish it.
