Transferring mortgaged building from LLC owned equally by my mother and brother to my own LLC.

Regardless of where the property is located, the guidance you seek needs the services of an attorney and a CPA. You have estate and gift tax issues as well as corporate transfer of members, which probably requires knowledge of and application of a statute.

Eye surgery went wrong - WA State

In my opinion, the first question I always ask is what is the extent of the damage sustained? If the answer is none or little, It doesn't matter to me if the doctor was negligent. If the damages are not substantial enough to offset the massive costs needed to pursue a medical malpractice case, no one will benefit from the lawsuit. Apart from needing a second surgery do you have permanent loss of vision or any other kind of permanant damage to your eye as a result of the first surgery?

Is it standard to pay med malpractice lawyer 40% PLUS fees? I thought the 40% was meant to cover both costs and payment?

In Washington State, the typical fee is 40% plus costs advanced, unless the case is such a slam dunk the insurance company wants to settle immediately, i.e., amputation of the wrong limb. Otherwise, medical malpractice cases are complicated, tough, risky and expensive. There are few outstanding medical malpractice attorneys and a lot of attorneys who handle medical malpractice lawsuits so choose wisely.

Who is responsible to remove debris from tax title property in Pierce County?

I'm not sure what you mean by the road has become a tax title property? In general, if the road you live on is a private road, you may have or may be able to obtain from title records (if one exists) a road maintenance agreement between the homeowners who live on the private road, including you. Typically, maintenance of the private road is going to be shared between the homeowners using the road. It isn't clear to me what you are describing in terms of the change in ownership status of the road.

Do i pay a real estate attorney if the deal on the property falls through during underwriting?

Do you have a written agreement with your attorney? You should. As part of that agreement, it must state how the attorney is going to be paid. Beyond that, I am really surprised how the subject of payment did not come up during your conversation(s) with the attorney. Is he charging you by the hour or only if he is successful if the transaction closes? Why don't you simply ask the question to your attorney if it isn't clear from the attorney-client fee agreement.

Why would a property, that isn't a foreclosure, go from "Sale Pending" to "Pending Backup Offer Requested"?

Because the seller has an offer on the table but still wants backup offers in case the first deal doesn't go through. A foreclosed or bank owned property has nothing to do with the issue.

I bought a house 22 months ago, and the roof has been blown off in high winds. Who is liable?

Based on what you have stated, there may be a potential case against one or more of the individual's you mentioned. What does the seller's form 17 disclosure state about the roof or other relevant subjects? What does the inspectors report state about the roof? You should first contact your insurance company to try to get a new roof right away. Worry about any potential lawsuit after your roof has been repaired. In Washington, and I would think other states require a plaintiff to mitigate...
