Search Tips

• Just your LAST/BUSINESS NAME
• If you have a suffix (Jr. or Sr.) enter it after your last name preceded by a space.
• Do not use any commas or hyphens within your search.
• Try abbreviations because corporate entities may be listed as such (ex.AT&T).
• Try variations in spelling.

• The LAST NAME/BUSINESS NAME and an initial in the FIRST NAME field.
• Define any criteria that may narrow the search, which may include a first name, middle initial and selecting if the search is to be performed on a business or family.

• Is this your name or business name?
• If a middle initial is shown, is it the same as yours?
• If last known address is shown, do you live or have you lived there?

If you can answer yes to these questions or if you are a part of the estate or rightful heir if the owner is deceased, we suggest you initiate a claim.
