[AZ] [AZ] Do I need an Affidavit of Property Value for a Beneficiary Deed form?

I have completed the Arizona Beneficiary Deed form. The form says, "Exempt from Affidavit and fee." But when filling out the online form, it directed me to the Affidavit of Property Value. Must I complete the affidavit? It doesn't seem to apply. Also, is the AZ Beneficiary Deed revocable? It doesn't say.

[TN] [TN] Can I attend an estate hearing remotely?

My son passed away in Nashville, Tennessee. We live in California. We took our family back to Tennessee to file small estate forms. We paid off some bills, but we can’t pay the $19,000 he owed in child support. The court said the executor can’t have a misdemeanor on record, so we’re filing an amendment so my wife can be in charge. The court hearing is in Tennessee. We don’t know if the judge will allow a Zoom appearance. We can’t afford to fly back. What happens if we can’t make it?

[CA] [CA] How can I stop my brother from violating the terms of the family trust created by my late mother?

My mother died in November of 2024. She had both a will and a family trust. She had two homes in Mentone, California. My brother David has lived in one for about 7 years, and my daughter Elizabeth has lived in one for about 15 years. She appointed my eldest brother Daniel to be the trustee. My daughter Elizabeth became gravely ill in late 2017. On July 11, 2018, she revised the family trust to include Elizabeth as a beneficiary. The trust states that the trustee may sell trust property, however that any such transaction shall be for full and adequate consideration. On 03/17/2025, my brother Daniel filed a quit claim deed giving my brother David both properties for no consideration. David is now trying to sell the properties and has told my daughter that she must move. Elizabeth is on hospice and has neither the physical nor financial means to move. We have no money for a lawyer. My mother’s intentions are being ignored and I believe they are violating the trust. What can I do to stop my brother from selling the property? What can I file to have this matter reviewed by the authorities? I have no money. My daughter is dying and I don’t know what to do.
