Why did you not get a Deed? Now you will have to sue seller for specific performance, and you must have perfect proof that you paid the agreed consideration. But why did you get an injunction without suing for the land? Hire an AZ attorney.
The taxes is there anyway to have them reduced since I'm not living on land mostly just shrub and trees. I also found out hunting is going on as I seen 6 lookout huts in trees? Also found oil wells on my land

Hi. We have an easement that was set up in the 1960’s that runs through our backyard to our neighbor's house which we believe was the original neighbor's only driveway to their home decades ago, so a necessity for their property. Now the easement acts as a second driveway for them... View More

A common issue. A recorded easement may be extinguished by a new recording, executed by all. You may have claims for mis-use or over-burdening, but the recorded instrument grants the rights, whatever it says. The concept of "necessity" is irrelevant to a recorded easement. The neighbor... View More

And does "gave me" include recording a deed? The answer to that question will determine what any lawyer can tell you.

'Grandfathered in' my house was bought in1961.My mom combined 4 lots into 1 in 1988. The zoning person said that if she had did that after 1989 then I could claim that it is grandfathered in and sell two lots separately. Sounds backwards to me. Re-separating them back like before 1988... View More

It is not clear how your mother "combined 4 lots into 1 in 1988". Did she build a single house on all four lots, or did she convey the four lots by a deed in which she used a metes and bounds description (instead of "lots __, ___, ___ and ___ of such-and-such subdivision")?... View More
