Help! Trying to find the Owner of a property

[Joe DeFarias]

I'm looking for some help. 

I found out that the owner next to one of my properties had past away over a year ago. It's a three family and I would like to purchase the property. I found the Owner's name but she had no sons or daughters, only cousins. The property has sat vacant for more than a year now and I don't know who owns it currently. How can I find out who received the property after the Owner's death?

@Joe DeFarias  It looks like you are in Middlesex county. Before you start searching everywhere Just do a quick current owner search first by entering the old owner's name in the register of deeds database. Then you should be able to determine if the property has been sold or transferred. You can find it at http://www.masslandrecords.com/middlesexsouth/. Good luck!
