Grancey,
If you want to get rid of the property, then put it up for sale. you can force the sale of the property, or your brother could get a loan and buy you out. As you said, you are not a bank. Under NO circumstances to you put your prosperity at risk so your brother can take ownership of this property.
While the lien protects you, the safest thing to do is the escrow account. That way, you alway retain ownership of your inheritance until the exact moment you get its monetary value. With the lien, its lawyers, lawyers, lawyers were something to go wrong. Trust me, the only ones who win in those situations are the lawyers. The property will be forcibly sold by a judge and by the time you pay your attorney fees, the inheritance is gone. I've seen it happen twice now.
My fear is that your tone is still a bit wishy-washy. You sound like someone who could waffle and get taken advantage of by him.
