Hi,

I’ve just subscribed to my county’s courthouse public records online. I am having problems understanding the lingo associated with doing the search. I am trying to search for local seller carry backs or private mortgage owners, problem is I need to search by instrument category and instrument type which have legal mames that I do not understand. Is there a book I could get or a website I could go to to find the definitions for these legal names?
If I am looking for private mortgage owners, what instrument category am I searching for; encumbrance, chattel, charter or partnership? What instrument category?

Any input will be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
John

Your local library should have a copy od “Black’s Law Dictionary”. This will give you the specifics.

Every state is different. I would go down to your local courthouse and ask the clerks what all of the terms mean. They will know because they deal with them on a daily basis.

You might also want to spend an hour or so with a local attorney that specializes in real estate. He can tell you what all of the terms mean. That would be money well spent.
