It has been 6 months and so for noone has “knocked on our door” (as far as any IRS liens, etc). The only thing that we have stumbled upon so far is this property tax issue which I found myself trying to see what property tax we were owing this year since the purchase. That is how I discovered the secured property taxes from the last 2 years. Per the Assessor’s Office, they do not record liens on single family residences. However, I did find out the we will need to pay the delinquent taxes owed on the property. I was advised to go to the Recorder’s Office and do a search on “recorded documents” under the previous owner. This I shall do tomorrow.

The deed has been recorded under my name since July and so far, noone has contacted me nor attempted to collect anything. Could that be a good sign?

Re: the Property tax, that’s how I found out there were “secured property taxes”/lien on the property… I stumbled upon it by going on the Riverside County Assessor’s website, curious to see how much our property taxes were after we had purchased the property.

Re: other liens against the previous owner, those follow the property, too?? How do I obtain this info if it is a property in Riverside county?

You made a comment earlier about whether or not I bought the second deed of trust or first… how do it determine that in looking at the “Prelim Title” provided to us?

I now have a copy of the “Preliminary Title” they calim was available on the auction.com website the night before the auction. My husband says he actually approached the Title company while I was signing us in the day of the auction and was shown the Prelim Title at the time. The title presented to him then is different from what we see now… it did not show the property tax lien that we are seeing now. What should we do then?

Another question: Now that I see the Prelim Title forwarded to me yesterday by the Trustee, how can I tell if I bought from the ” second or first trust deed”? Sorry, I AM NEW to all this. I would appreciate your enlightenment.
