[quote=recordsclerk]You can go to the grantor/grantee index to see what liens you have. Depending on how common your name is and how many properties you own, it is pretty simple. You will be looking for a reconveyance from the original lien holder (grantor) to you (grantee). You should be able to see what loans are still outstanding.
Here is a link:
Ricechex, take recordsclerk’s suggestion first before calling Chase tomorrow to see if any reconveyances have been filed in your name on this property, and if so, go down to the county recorder and purchase the document for $2 per page and copy it for your joint tenant/friend to take to her bank/mtg lender. Reconveyances are usually only one page. It is possible that your joint tenant’s bank’s lending officer is incompetent and/or she did not understand that the HELOC was only in your name and thus their abstractor/title searcher did not pick it up.
Congratulations are in order if your friend/joint-tenant is successful in “buying you out” of this rental-property/headache!
