You have the right to receive a copy of your appraisal either at closing or after a course of action has been decided if you have paid for it.\n\nThe appraisal, though, is the property of the person who ORDERS the appraisal.\n\nAs lenders, we order the appraisal for the consumer to ensure the consumer has no influence over the appraiser(unrelated 3rd party).  General/Government lending guideline.\n\nGenerally, I'll send the appraisal to the customer over email once it passes compliance.  It's no big deal.\n\nYour lender or mortgage broker still has the right to/or not to assign ownership of an appraisal should you wish to seek financing elsewhere.  \n\nIn regards to assigning appraisals: If something doesn't work out... no problem... but work hard, begging and pleading to get someone approved, and then they have a mother's sister's brother's cousin who just started in the business... get the drift...\n\nStay on good terms with your lender if you have to take your financing elsewhere.  There is a lot going on with applications you don't see.  That will make them more amenable to assigning your appraisal to you should you need.\n\nGood luck,\nChris

If the house is paid for then your parents have it and it's probably hidden from you for good reason. Otherwise the people they pay their mortgage note to has the deed and I'm sure your parents know who that is. Probably a bank of some type.You can go to the courthouse in the county where the land is physically and find all the documents related to the property. \n\nFYI: A title company is a company that searches for the type of info you are looking for by searching on the net and/or going to the courthouse and finding deed and title info. They don't hold the deed to anyone's property.

I don't know what state you're from and the procedures in your state but here in Texas we have appraisal districts that have all the property records so they can appraise all property every year so the government can set the property taxes every year.\n\nAll property is in someone's name, so you should be able to go down to the appraisal district in your county or whatever government organization has the property records, (maybe the courthouse) and get on one of their computers, type in your grandfather's name (maybe even if he doesn't still own the property) and pull up the info.\n\nIf you know the address but not the parcel numbers and need the parcel numbers, you can find this out at the appraisal district.\n\nYou didn't explain much, so if I didn't hit the nail on the head, you can talk to a real estate agent and he/she can no doubt help you with some advice after asking you the necessary questions.\n\nIf your grandfather doesn't own the property any longer, I'm wondering why you're looking for this info.  It seems to me that if he owned property and hasn't been paying the taxes on it all this time, it was probably foreclosed on by the government and sold to someone else to pay the overdue taxes.\n\nIf he still owns the property, he'll have a deed that has all the property info, including the legal description of the property on it.\n\nHope this helped.

If you are talking about finding one that is filed you would contact the property appraisers office either on line or in person. This is public record and should be pretty easy to find. You can use the physical or legal address of the property.

If you're looking to sell your home, a real estate agent can do a market survey for you so you can price your home accordingly, and it'll be up to the buyer to pay for the appraisal.  If you are looking to refinance, your mortgage company will likely order a new appraisal with the cost rolled into the closing.\n\nIf you get your own appraisal, and then go to try to refinance, the lender may or may not accept your appraisal report and you'll have to pay for another anyway.

The Appraisal Subcommittee has a website where you can download a list of all licensed appraisers in AL (or the US). At the site, go to the tab at the top of the page that reads "National Registry." Then, click on Custom Reports. In Custom Reports, simply select AL as the license state and Active (so you get a list of active) appraisers. The list can be downloaded into a couple of formats, including Microsoft Excel. Once in Excel, if you are familiar with and have both Excel and Word, you can print a form letter addressed to each licensed appraiser you want to work for.\n\nGood luck. This is the hardest part of the licensing process, finding a supervisor. When I teach pre-licensing appraisal courses, I tell the students to start looking right away.

There is a specific loan product for your needs.  Not all lenders have access to it because it is what is called a "portfolio" loan product.  \n\nWhat happens is that you get the plans and specifications for the improvements and they are submitted to the appraiser so that the property may be appraised based upon completed value.  \n\nThe loan is treated the same as a construction loan in that funds are disbursed based upon work completed.  There must be a licensed general contractor overseeing the project.\n\nI am a mortgage lender with more than 20 years experience and my bank, a national bank not a .com, offers this product as its specialty.  I can loan in all states and will be happy to answer any of your questions.  My name is Nancy, my toll free number is 800-971-4638 ext. 223.

The property tax appraiser's website lets you search by a person's name or by street address.  It will show you who the owner of the property is.\n\nThe recorder of deeds allows you to search by name.  Search for deeds.  If the person is not the grantee on any deeds, they dont own any property.  The only problem with searching for deeds is that they have a "legal description" and often do not show the street address of the property.

You'd have to do some research to get to the age of the house but your city or county should have and online GIS or Polaris system where you can get some basic information about the property.  An appraiser may be able to help you and a transaction line tracking the house can be gotten at the register of deeds office.  Also sometimes the style of the house can give you a span of when the house was built.  \n\nGood luck.

usually the appraiser will require payment at the time of the appraisal.  Sometimes it can be paid through close of escrow, but it really depends on the relationship between the appraiser and the lender or broker.

Homeowner I believe. Contact your local housing department.

Go to the City or County Governement offices.  Usually the same as the Courts. Speak with the Clerk and ask to view the Property Tax recoreds for the property in question.  Who ever pays the taxes for that property will be recorded, and generally the owner pays the taxes.  Tax records are public information in the U.S..

Unfortunately in the - very advanced - society we currently live in, the computers do not have a field for joint applications and/or accounts.\n\nThey - institutions and the like - say yes it is joint, but the fact is whoever is listed first, is who the account/property, etc is listed under.\n\nOne (the institution etc.) has to look further into the matter (via computer screen) to see the joint names.\n\nBut it is the individual that appears first on the account that USUALLY has ALL the control.\n\nHaving said that, when you contact the customer service departments, speak to a supervisor, if the rep. is not responsive. YOU ARE listed on the account and have the right to the information. So a)You should get billings - even if they are copies, and c)You are entitled to mortgage interest information - if you know the amount - then you are legally (understand I am NOT an attorney/accountant) entitled you use at least 50% - if not more. It depends on what percentage of mortgage /home equity you pay - even if you do pay ALL, ex may argue he used his funds to pay your 'whatever' bills.\n\nb)Equity account awarded to you - again speak to supervisor and/or their legal people. Explain you have judgment in your favor-they SHOULD- give you the access you need to the equity.\n\nd) If the house is in your name, then the house is yours and the loan is 'joint' Insurance claims as I understand (I'm not an insurance agent)are paid out to the lien holder's favor (mortgage company) who would then release it to proper party - like the people that reconstructed whatever broke - so do not pay out of pocket - let insurance company pay.\n\nNone of the above is easy, or a great way to do things.  it will take time, and probably longer than you would like. Document EVERYTHING, who you talk to and when, check your credit report regularly (I have a link to free report on my website) and do what you can to move on.\n\nYou may decide it prudent to get a second opinion from an another attorney, it may be expensive, but may be worth it, IF it allows you to get on with your life.\n\nGood Luck!
