How Do You Find Out If Real Estate Is In Someones Name?

By Brian and Jeff On September 2, 2009 Under Commercial Real Estate Loans

someone signed (as a primary borrower) 20 years ago on a commercial property. their sibling claimed it’s been refinanced 3 times since then, and possibly sold last year. as far as i know, there was no paperwork to remove the primary borrower, so i feel like there is a big scam going on here an might be due for capital gains or whatever….
ignorance is not excuse for this situation, how do i find out for certain. i know you are going to say “title search”, but is there an easier way? or is there some way to find out anonymously?

what state do you live in? In michigan we have bs&a software (its a website) which will tell you if a property was sold, when, to who, for how much, all the tax info and everything. It’s free.

To find out whose name is on the deed, you can usually check the tax rolls. Look at the local tax accessor/collectors website and you can often find the info you are looking for on there, or they can direct you where to go. Sometimes it’s an Appraisal district, but you get the idea.
If it was refinanced, then the original leins are no longer on the property, but unless they changed the deed too, it is still owned by the same person.
