Title Search by Name: Find Every Property an Owner Holds
Owner Name Search · Statewide or Nationwide · Entity and Trust Holdings · Asset Discovery
A title search by name finds every property a person or entity currently owns by searching county recorder and assessor records, with statewide or nationwide coverage selected at checkout for the $95 Title Search by Name. It is the starting point for divorce discovery, estate inventory, judgment collection, pre-litigation research, and investor due diligence, delivered by email as a PDF within 24 to 72 hours, with one Property Detail Report included. Flat pricing, no per-property surcharges, no subscription. BBB A+ since 2009.
From a Name to a Property List
A title search by name runs the ownership question in reverse: instead of asking who owns this property, it asks what property this person or entity owns, and answers from the official record: county recorder indexes and assessor rolls across every county in scope, statewide or nationwide at checkout.
It is title research, not a people search: results are verifiable holdings vested in the name, not aggregated profiles, which is why divorce counsel, probate administrators, judgment creditors, and investors start here. Order the Title Search by Name ($95), and see the title search hub for where it fits in the full examination.
Who Runs Name Searches
The five jobs the $95 search does, at flat pricing with no per-property surcharges
Divorce Discovery
Every parcel vested in a spouse’s name for equitable distribution, with documented evidence fit for the file.
Estate and Probate Inventory
The decedent’s real property holdings assembled from the record for administration and heirship work.
Judgment Collection
Debtor real property located for lien attachment and recovery, paired with the $125 Personal Lien Search.
Pre-Litigation Research
Quiet asset checks before filing; the owner is never notified and every order is confidential.
Investor Prospecting
Every parcel a target seller holds across a state, the direct-acquisition map for off-market outreach.
Skip Tracing and Locates
Real property cannot be hidden or sealed; the nationwide option is the most comprehensive property-based locate available.
Entity and Trust Unmasking
Holdings returned as vested, with the chain of title tracing who moved property into the entity.
Beyond Real Estate
Business entities, financial assets, and personal property through U.S. Asset Records, the investigation arm.
How the Name Search Is Actually Run
Name normalization first. The search begins by building the variant set: middle initials in and out, maiden and married names, common misspellings, and known aliases, because the recorder index files exactly what the instrument said, and one owner routinely appears under several renderings.
Entities are matched as recorded. LLCs, corporations, and trusts vest under their exact recorded styling, so the entity search runs the formal name and its known restylings against the grantee index, returning holdings precisely as they sit on title rather than as a broker database guesses them.
Recorder and assessor are cross-checked. The recorder index establishes vesting and the assessor roll confirms current ownership and situs, and reading both together filters out sold-and-not-yet-reindexed noise while catching holdings a single source would miss.
Scope is a checkout selection, not a surcharge. Statewide runs every county in one state; the nationwide option runs all 50 states in a single engagement, and either way the fee is flat with no per-property charges, which is why estates with a dozen parcels cost the same search fee as estates with one.

Name Search Questions
Fast answers from the official record
Can I search a company or LLC name?
Yes: entity holdings are searched exactly like individual names, returned as vested in the record, statewide or nationwide at checkout.
What arrives with the results?
The property list with ownership detail, owner mortgage and mailing addresses, and one Property Detail Report included, delivered as a PDF within 24 to 72 hours.
What if I only have an address?
Run it the other direction: the find property owner hub and the $29 Property Detail Report answer who owns a specific property.
Title Search by Name FAQ
How do I find all properties owned by a person or company?
Order the Title Search by Name ($95) with the individual or entity name, choosing statewide or nationwide coverage at checkout. Professional abstractors search county recorder and assessor records across every county in scope and deliver the property list by email within 24 to 72 hours, with one Property Detail Report included.
How is a title search by name different from a people search?
A people search scrapes contact and background data from broker databases. A title search by name searches the official recorder and assessor records for real property currently vested in the name, returning verifiable title holdings rather than aggregated profiles. Real property cannot be hidden or sealed the way accounts can, which is why asset work starts here, and U.S. Asset Records extends the research beyond real estate.
What is a name search used for?
Divorce discovery and equitable distribution, estate and probate inventory, judgment collection and lien attachment, pre-litigation asset checks, and investor prospecting for every parcel a target seller holds. The find property owner hub covers the address-first direction of the same question.
Does the search cover entity and trust ownership?
Yes: holdings vested in LLCs, corporations, and trusts are returned exactly as recorded, and pairing the results with a chain of title search on a specific parcel traces who moved property into the entity and when.
Are mineral-rich states different?
They can be: in oil-producing states like Texas, mineral and surface estates are frequently severed, so a surface-title result may sit beside separately held mineral interests that require additional investigation. The state guides cover where that split matters.
What happens with very common names?
The variant discipline narrows them: middle initials, spouse names, known counties, and any qualifiers you provide are run together, and results come back as vested with the property situs attached, so holdings are confirmed against what you know about the subject rather than guessed from a name match alone. Entity searches avoid the problem entirely by matching the exact recorded styling.
Is a name search confidential?
Yes. The subject is never notified, contacted, or alerted, no account is created, and nothing is filed anywhere. Title records are public documents open to inspection, and quiet third-party research against them is standard practice in pre-litigation, collection, and estate work, which is exactly how these orders are handled.
What should I order after the results arrive?
For specific properties in the list, add the $95 Property Lien Report, the $195 Full Property/Owner Lien Report, or the $375 Chain of Title for the full history. Volume pricing for firms and investigators: office@ustitlerecords.com.
