The cancellation notice you received is just a formality to get signatures to instructions the escrow agent to release your money.  

Here is part of the instruction for filing a claim if you are NOT a party of the property (lender or owner) at the time of tax sale from San Diego County:  A party of interest in the property at the time of the sale may assign his or her right to claim the excess proceeds onlyby a dated, written instrument that explicitly states that the right to claim the excess proceeds is being assigned, and onlyafter each party to the proposed assignment has disclosed to each other party to the proposed assignment all facts of which he or she is aware relating to the value of the right that is being assigned (§4675)The key words are: "ONLY AFTER EACH PARTY TO THE PROPOSED ASSIGNMENT HAS DISCLOSED TO EACH OTHER"

Possible hidden damage in this area.Recommendation: Chemically treat the soil at probable entry points for the control of subterranean termites.Remove any termite shelter tubes from accessible area.

The instructions below are a bit generic.

My home study course comes with a "14 Steps to Creating Your First Land Trust" instruction sheet that would have held your hand through the process, but I guess you were too busy to read that as well.I would have been glad to refer you to two attorneys that i know who can create a land trust for you.

Maybe mismanaged "C" class properties, hidden in a "B" class neighborhood.

Even if you had given detailed instructions on care,, plants are plants and the tenant is not a professional gardener and this just would be something that you will not prevail in.As suggested earlier, don't plan on anyone taking care of your garden unless you hire it done.

I had just dropped off the letter with instructions on how to file a legitimate complaint via mail.

All you have to do now is wait for escrow to call and then sign some papers and give them instructions on where to wire you money.It's your money that you'd be giving away so it's your call.
