The sale is the result of a legal judgment against Charles C. Brooks, trustee of the Brooks Family Trust, Trust A, and the Audrey Gorham Trust, 1992, among others, according to the notice posted by the YCSO. The Sheriff's Office states that the sale is an execution issued by the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in Yavapai County, case number P1300CV202200853.
