Deceased Relative, Land Ownership Search
Posted on 3/19/14 at 9:41 pm

I just found out a deceased relative my own property in Texas. The ownership appears to be joint and I have no idea where the land is located.
What is the best way to begin my search? Obviously, I know my deceased relatives name, but the other owner's name is not fully known.
OT Sleuths...do work.
ETA: No, i will not provide pics of dead relative.

You don't know the city or county?

county of said property?
county of said residence and death?
check either or both for probate information.
check tax rolls
etc

I'm not sure but you sound like a great candidate to be my new best friend.
I'd call the tax accessor.

If you know the county just go look in the public records.

The relative did not live in Texas. I do not know the County. This was land ownership with another party that may have been an investment or something secondary.

then you should just check the global database of land records. they should have what you're looking for

OK, tried that...nothing. It may be possible that the parties owning the property created an LLC or something. IS there a way to search for that?
I may be looking for a Malaysian airplane here, but it seems to be real.

If not owned in his own name, go to Texas Secretary of State website, and search corporate records to see if he owned, or served as an officer, in a corporation

If you can, search through his records to see if you can find an old lease, right of way, timber deed, or any other deed that would give you the location of the property, including county, survey/abstract number, acreage amount and a metes and bounds description. Maybe you can find records where he paid the property taxes, which will have most if not all of that information. Check back when you know a little more.
If all else fails, check the world land database

If it is joint right of survivorship then it passes to the surviving owner.

Just call the tax assessor offices in different counties until you find something under his name

Checking for unclaimed property in Texas is a good place to start. May be an unclaimed royalty payment out there if owned in his name.

If it's in an oil-producing county, and there's a frickload in TX, chances are the mineral rights were sold a long time ago. It'll probably help finding the owner of the land because the records are most likely more up-to-date. I'd get in touch with a landman.
How long ago did said relative die?

Tax liability, where is it?

Also telling us how you found out about this possibility would be helpful.
