It sounds like the most important thing for you is whether or not you are on the title anywhere. Or titles, if these are multiple parcels titled separately.

In my system, you don't need to know the parcel number. You can find out by using the owners name as well to search property records. Name brings up both personal and real, and my boss once had me do it to get someones mailing address, he lost. (friend with a unique name)Originally Posted by iris lilies
Seems a bit stalkerish, but allowed his present to get there on time.
I would start with the deceased, as older records/receipts could be in the description and give you the numbers needed.
I keep thinking this saga shows how important it is get a clear title registered whether young or old.
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Which state?
iowa.
Well I’m not sure the owners name? Because there are multiple owners. Maybe I will plunge in and try one of those names though and see what happens.
Start with your own name and then with your dh's name. In Maine, if you are on the title, your name will show up on the computer search, no matter the order.
Thanks for the encouragement you guys.
I did plunge in—with the urging of those here—to search my brother-in-law‘s name. The land parcels came up in the search for his name. When I looked at the summary record for each parcel, it shows all five siblings, DH and his 4 siblings, on the deed.
Spouses like me are not listed on the deed. Outstanding issue solved. I am probably being sued along with the other spouses because of our marital interest in this property.
Since I have no authority or direct responsibility for this property, I’m not gonna worry about it. I’m going to go back to my original mindset about this family issue which is “not my circus, not my monkeys, I can have an opinion but it doesn’t matter.”
My opinion is that DH and his siblings are devaluing a significant asset by breaking up land. In my opinion, every parcel that is removed from this family farm devalues the rest of it because much value is in adjacent pieces. How much is being devalued I do not know, that’s intangible and there’s no way I could put a price on it. As it currently stands, for those who are curious, our household’s share is worth $250,000 according to the last appraisal.
but if DH wants to devalue his asset for emotional reasons, he gets to do that. It is his asset. As I previously stated he will not be using any of our joint funds however to pay an attorney or any court costs. Those bills will have to come out of his IRA. Our joint funds ARE my circus, my monkeys.

Hopefully, there are no mineral rights involved.
A friend back in Tx went through something like this and it took two years of wrangling between family members and lawyers to settle. Eventually, the whole parcel sold to a Mennonite family who are farming it once again.
I don't know, having read this:

and wondering if what you have here is a partition action, then I personally would consult a lawyer since you are named on the lawsuit. Even lienholders get named on these actions. So I'd consult a lawyer to protect me, as opposed to thinking their lawyer would protect me.
Yes it’s a partition lawsuit. But what do I have to “ lose” in this action?
I would think that if I really have something to lose, I can dispense with any risk by signing a quit claim deed which gets me out of any interest in the property. I think. I’m not willing to do that though.
