having trouble locating owner of property

[De'Mille Morris]

I'm having trouble finding the owner of a house in foreclosure . I'm a new investor and recently came across a property where the original owner passed some years ago so the property isn't in probate court but every time I searched the property the owner who passed still comes up as the owner. how do I locate either the party with controlling interest before the property foreclose.

@De'Mille Morris I would search you local county's grantor grantee index to find the current property owner. Depending on where you found your info, a lot of the info on google is dated and not accurate. Anytime properties have liens or any other government documented "tag" on it or the property changes ownership, the information becomes public record. Always check with the local administration. They'll have the most accurate owner. 

 Thanks I appreciate this. I’ll look this up
