2. What types of land records are in the Clerk of Court's office and how do I locate them?

the most common types of land records are warranty deeds, security deeds, quit claims deeds, cancellations, tax liens, foreclosure deeds, deeds of trust, administrators' deeds, executor's deeds, cemetery deeds, assignments, bond, easements, modification agreements, power of attorney and revocations of power of attorney. To locate land records it is helpful to have the buyer's name (GRANTEE), the seller's name (GRANTOR) and the date of the transaction, especially the year. With this information, check the real estate indices which are located in the deed room in the Superior Court Clerk's office. Copies may be made for $.50 per page and may be certified for an additional fee.
