Thanks so much for the help, one last question, if we serve by publication and there is no response from her, what then? Is the lien just disolved or cancelled? I know I am being pretty specific but I want to make sure this legal process will indeed clear the title before I spend any money to get the process started. Thanks.

I own a property but I can not find the lienholder’s contact information to pay off the deed of trust. I have her first and last name and that is all. Any suggestions on ways to find her contact info? What if I am unable to contact her, is there any way to refiance the property without first paying off the lien? Please help I am between a rock and a hard place. Thanks.

Stephen,

Have you checked were the most recent tax records were mailed to?

Best wishes,

You are closer to a hard place, Stephen. You can file a quiet title proceeding, or, possibly post a bond. I would ask your local title company for options, since they will be insuring over the lien.

Do yourself a favor and ask MORE THAN ONE title company!

What are my options if I file a quiet title but because she is still unable to be found, we are unable to serve her the court papers? Is it possible to do service by publication? If so what are the conditions? Thanks so much for the help.

You’ll likely have to serve by publication. You’ll make application to the court for permission to serve by publication, and the court will direct you how to do it.
