Subject to and selling who does Escrow issue check to?

[Tou V.]

As I understand it. When taking over properties subject to. The title doesn’t change from previous owner. When selling does Title company make a check out to the owner on title or will they pay the investor directly?

My scenario: I took over a house years ago, but name not on title. Now I’d like to sell it and have proceeds directly paid to me since it has appreciated nicely. What will the previous owner have to do, if any?  Thank you.
