It is possible to go to the Register Of Deeds office at your county court house. Take along a tax bill or something else with the legal description of your property. Someone there will help but be prepared to spend several hours. Another more costly way would be to have a local title company run a search for you. You could find one in the YP or any search engine.

Depending upon where you live, the city Town Hall assessor's office is a good place to start. Now in New England most assessor's offices are on line and you can find the liens placed on a piece of real property in the town's database system. You can always check through the recording books to double check. A good real estate attorney always has someone in their office doing this for a small fee if you do not want to do it yourself.

To find out if there is a lien on your house, you can research this at your local register of deeds office and or research this with the local court of clerks office in your county in which you live or for the county where the property is located.

At the Superior Court Clerk's office in the county that you reside in and any other County and state in which you may own property. Many Counties now have this information avaiable on their web sites.

Visit the land records office in your jurisdiction and ask the staff to assist you in checking your name in the grantor index. Any liens should be indexed under your name and you can obtain copies of any that you find.

Liens have to be filed with the deed in the county court house. A visit there should provide you the information you want.

Call any title company (or abstract company) in your area and they'll do a title search for you. For a fee, of course.

Can the lien against my property be released when the the original owner apparently with a tax debt died.?

Assuming you are talking about an IRS lien, then yes. If you were not liable for the taxes, then the lien should not be on your property. The first thing to determine is whether or not the lien actually attached to your property. If the previous owner of the house owned the house at the time the lien was filed, then the lien probably legally attached to the house. If this is the case, this is something you should take up with the title company that did the title work when you purchased the house. More common is that the IRS filed a lien and the address they had on record was still his old house (your house). Just because the lien had that address on it doesn't mean you have a lien on your house. If the property wasn't his, then it did not legally attach. If a title company still has issues with this (if you are trying to sell your house), you may need to get a Certificate of Non-Attachment from the IRS to show them that it's not attached.
