Searching for Documents by Corporation

This screen allows you to search for documents by the name of a corporate conveyor (seller/borrower) or conveyee (buyer/lender).

• A Conveyor (Seller/Borrower) is the corporation from which the title of the property was transferred-typically the seller of the property. Other terms for the conveyor include grantor, mortgagor, vendor, or lessor.
• A Conveyee (Buyer/Lender) is the corporation to which the title of the property was transferred-typically the buyer of the property. Other terms for the conveyee include grantee, mortgagee, vendee, or lessee.

To search for documents, enter search criteria into the following fields:

• Search For (required): Select whether the corporation for which you want to search is a conveyor or conveyee in the transaction by clicking on the appropriate option.
• Corporation (required): Enter one or more letters of the corporation name. The search will return all corporations that begin with the letters you enter. For example, if you enter "Pro", the search results will include "Pro Computers", "Professional Accountants Inc.", "Procter & Gamble", etc.

• Document Type: Enter up to four document type codes for which to search. Document type indicates the nature of the document filed with the Recorder, such as a deed, mortgage, or affidavit, and each document type has an associated code of up to four letters. If you know the code(s) for the document type(s) you want to find, enter them directly. If you do not know the codes, click the Document Type link to view and select from a list of valid document types.

• Begin Date: Enter the month, day, and year (respectively) of the earliest date for which you want to retrieve documents. The search will return all corporations associated with documents dated on or after this date. Note that only documents dated 1988 and later are available online-for earlier documents, you need to visit the Recorder's Office.
• End Date: Enter the month, day, and year (respectively) of the latest date for which you want to retrieve documents. The search will return all corporations associated with documents dated on or before this date. Note that only documents dated 1988 and later are available online-for earlier documents, you need to visit the Recorder's Office.

Once you have entered your search criteria, click Search to find matching documents or Clear to clear all the fields so you can enter new search criteria.

If there are multiple corporations matching the name you entered, you will see the Select Party screen displaying a list of matching corporations. If a single corporation with multiple documents is found matching the name you entered, you will see the Select Document Screen displaying a list of documents for the corporation. If a single corporation is found matching the name you entered, and there is only one document recorded for that corporation, you will go directly to the Document Detail for that document.

NOTE: If you enter a corporation for which only registered land has been recorded, your search will not return any results. You must use one of the registered land search options to find registered land documents.
