We need the following information on any houses, land, timeshare, camp site contract, burial plot, etc, you have owned in the last two years.  This include any “family land’ passed down in your family that you consider yourself to have an interest in even if you do not control the property or pay the taxes.

1. A copy of the recorded deed.  The “deed” is the proof of ownership.  If you received an interest/ownership of the property through inheritance your name will not be on the deed nevertheless you still own the property.  In that instance, we need a copy of the deed and a copy of the will or wills through which you inherited your interest.

You can get copies of the deed from the Land Records office in the Circuit Court in the county or independent city where the property is located.  This requirement applies even if the property is located out of state or out of the country.
