How to find owner of a property in a trust

[Jeff Green]

I'm interested in making an investment on an apartment complex. The tax records say that it is owned under a trust. The last time it was sold was 1984 and the previous owner has no record of who he sold it to 25 years ago, and the trust manager is a commissioned employee who isn't going to give the name of the interest holders of the trust.

Any advice on how to find out who the owner is without paying for a title search?

I used my local county's appraiser website. They have a search feature where I can look up property holders by name (including trusts). When I found a property that was held by a trust I searched the trust by name using my county appraiser website and I was then able to view scanned documents that revealed the owner's name. As far as getting an up to date contact info I would google their name and the city you live in and hopefully that will give you some results.
