Ricardo Alberto Magana and Parker Leann Frazee had a full plate at the Lewis and Clark County Recorder's Office on June 11. In a single day's worth of filings, the couple purchased a property from Nicholas D. and Jamie K. Bright, sold a separate lot in Pioneer Village Subdivision Phase II to Juliana R. Alfaro and Osmar B. Campos-Diarte, and filed a Declaration of Homestead — all recorded the same day.
The back-to-back transactions show up across four separate recording categories: real estate deeds, homestead declarations, capital flows, and lending records. In total, Magana and Frazee appear in six filings tied to four distinct properties, according to public records through June 11, 2026.
The purchase from the Brights is recorded in Book M65, Page 4788. The sale to Alfaro and Campos-Diarte — conveying Lot 31 of Pioneer Village Subdivision Phase II — is recorded in Book M65, Page 4777. The homestead declaration, filed the same day, suggests the couple intends to claim one of the properties as their primary residence, a protection under Montana law that shields a portion of home equity from certain creditors.
Records indicate Magana and Frazee may be based outside Montana, which would make the homestead declaration notable — that protection applies only to a Montana resident's principal dwelling. The simultaneous purchase, sale, and homestead filing on a single day points to a household actively repositioning its real estate holdings in Lewis and Clark County, though the public record reflects only what was filed, not the reasoning behind it.
