But the original post stated, that a mortgage had been missed because of the name on the mortgage.   So my point was, and this is where I may be totally off base.   But in MN, we title search by legal description.   Then do a name search for judgements, ect.   Because people can own multiple parcels of land, I do not understand why a name search would be the way to search for a specific parcel of land.   Also, by searching the legal description first, it's possible to find where loans, judgments or liens are on a parcel of land, but not neccessarily against the 'apparant' owner.
