A property in Kings County, New York. A raw search of the record
makes it worth −$39,102 to a creditor. Two of the
claims against it were paid off years ago, a mortgage discharged in
2011 and a lien that never attached to the land; with those taken
out it is worth $885,898. Figures illustrative, arithmetic

The same parcel, the same documents, side by side
1. Skip traceNo figure
Reads the assessment roll, never opens the register. The claims
against this parcel sit outside what it can see.
2. Raw register−$39,102
Counts a mortgage satisfied in 2011 and a UCC filing that
never attached to the land. Reports the property underwater,
so the case looks not worth filing.
3. Collecteral$885,898 reachable
Retires the satisfied mortgage, sets aside the UCC, counts
live debt at its recorded amount. Your $310,000 judgment is
covered 2.86 times over.

A skip trace returns the parcel and stops there. None of the
rows below appear in its output. Whether anything is left goes unanswered.
The documents behind that figure
Every claim against this parcel in recording order, because
recording date sets priority. Everything above your position
gets paid before you do.
Same parcel, same documents.
A lien nobody resolved is worse than no lien at all: it sends you
away from a case you would have won.
What you already use answers a different question
A skip trace, a people search, a docket pull. TLO, Accurint, CLEAR,
PACER, the county's own portal. They tell you what a debtor owns,
and they are good at it. None of them tells you what
is left. None of them retires a lien that was satisfied in 2011.
Each one depends on the answer above it.Skip a step and you levy on a
property that was already spoken for, or you walk away from one that
was not.
What do they own, including through entities?
Real property with its parcel identifier and recording references.
Companies they formed, manage or serve as agent for, across eleven
state registries. Aircraft, nationwide, from the
FAA registry.
What is already claimed against it?
Mortgages, tax liens and docketed warrants, with the ones that have
been paid off retired rather than left on the report, because a
lien that was satisfied in 2011 is not
debt in 2026.
Where does your judgment sit in that stack?
Recording date sets priority. We put your claim in its place
and show what stands ahead of it, so the question stops being
whether they own anything and becomes whether anything is left.
Did they move it once you filed?
Deeds recorded for a nominal price near a claim date, and deeds
between parties sharing a surname, an address or a corporate
officer.In Broward the judgment and the deed carry the same case
number, so you can check the pairing yourself.
The commonest shape it surfaces
A judgment, then a deed to a related
party for a nominal price, with both sides of the pairing tied on
the record itself.
Composite example; every field is a real field and the arithmetic
is the live query's. Cited, checkable examples come with a trial.
Transfers recorded after a judgment
In
Broward County
a judgment and a conveyance can be tied on the record itself,
not matched by name and hope.

What H/E means
Tenancy by the entiretiesHow the Broward roll writes a husband and wife holding jointly
Why it matters here
Standard judgment proofingA creditor of one spouse cannot reach entireties property in Florida
Lead, not a findingMatched on name alone. Adding a spouse to a title is usually lawful
Found without being told to look for it. The pattern recurs
through the live tier: judgment against one spouse, then the
homestead conveyed into the entireties for a dollar.
Why it holds up in front of a judge
A report has to survive being read closely by someone who wants it
to be wrong.
Pull the document behind any line
City Register file number, reel and page, or instrument number,
with the date we retrieved it.Checking us is the intended
workflow.The figures are built to survive it.
Legal screens are written rules, not model output
Florida homestead is decided by the acreage, residency and
ownership tests under
Article X, Section 4.The report prints the authority for each rule that fired.A determination a model produced is not defensible in a
filing.
A guess arrives labelled as one
A name match with nothing corroborating it says so on its face,
alongside how many people share that name. Ownership links carry
whether they were resolved by identifier or matched by name alone.
Error runs one way, toward less
Debt counts at its recorded amount; no recorded document shows a payment. A lien we cannot prove was released stays on the report.
Both err toward a case you might have won, never toward a levy
on nothing.
Sources, used on their own terms
Every source is the office that keeps the record.No paywall circumvented, no private system
entered, no aggregator feed whose terms would restrict what you do
with the result.Where a source's own terms restrict commercial
use, we hold it back rather than serve it.
An empty list is not an all clear
Where a register was never searched, the report returns no recorder
data rather than unencumbered. Telling you a property is clean
when nobody looked is the one failure this
system refuses.
This list is the reason to trust the rest of the page. It is kept
current, and a report repeats whichever line applies to it.
The reachable figure is a floor, and it has not
been validated against title searches
We could report an estimate. We report a floor, because a
creditor who acts on an optimistic estimate loses money and a
creditor who acts on a floor does not. The direction of error
is argued and stated on every report. The magnitude is not yet
quantified. Validation against title searches is in progress.
A reachable figure exists in four New York City
boroughs and nowhere else in the countryStaten Island keeps its land records with its
own County Clerk and is not in the register.Everywhere else, we can tell you what a debtor
owns and often what is claimed against their name, but not what is
left.
Florida claims tie to a name, not to a lot
Broward's index runs from 1978 and holds 2.4M final judgments,
4.2M mortgages and 1.6M liens. Almost none of them carry a parcel
identifier, only deeds do, so we can tell you a name has a
mortgage and not that a lot does. No reachable figure is
computed in Florida.
New York private money judgments are not in yet
The State's own warrants are, 225,457 of them live in the
boroughs. County Clerk judgments are not, so a New York debtor
with no claim shown may still have been sued.
What we hold comes in layers, and only one of them supports a reachable
figure. Adding them into a single percentage would hide the difference
you are asking about, so each layer is counted on its own.
Full register, with encumbrances
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. 17.0M documents keyed to
the lot, 1903 forward. Ownership, live claims, priority order
and a reachable floor.This is the only
layer that produces a figure.
Claims against a name
Broward County, Florida. 32.0M documents, 1978 to 2025, the largest
and deepest source we hold. It ties a claim to a name rather than
to a lot, which is a different and weaker thing. Plus liens
and warrants in 382 counties, among them statewide UCC in Colorado
and Connecticut and 225,457 live New York State warrants.
Ownership and transfers
Parcel rolls in 46 states and DC, 74% of the US population,
including all 67 Florida counties at the parcel level. Recorded transfers in 847 counties. Corporate registries in 11 states.
Aircraft, nationwide. What they own and who sold it. Not what is
owed on it.
Stated, every time
A report states which question it cannot answer, in place of the
answer. Where a register was never searched, it says so.

What happens to the names you send

Visits are counted, searches are not. Google Analytics counts

Searches are not shared, sold or pooled. Your queries are
not visible to any other firm and are not used to build a product
anyone else buys.
Name and report deleted on request, at any time. Tell us and
it is gone, including from backups on the next cycle.
Reports are not used for eligibility decisions. Not for
credit, employment, insurance or tenant screening. What a report may
be used for, and what the statutes everyone asks about actually say,
is set out
in full.
Audit logging on every search, so your firm can show what
was run, by whom and when.
