How do I find out if my husband really did pay off our property mortgage?
We live in Harris County, Texas and recently we came into a large sum of money. My husband is a control freak and though he tells me he paid the mortgage off, how can I find out if he did. He keeps all his records at work so I have nothing to really go by. I do know I’m on the deed and I know both my and his SIN’s. My son in law said I could probably look it up on line but I’ve been having a devil of a time. All the sites seem to want money for information I don’t need and the government site reads like hieroglyphics. Help.
NO, it’s simple
CALL the lender, with the property address, names and SSN, you can get the balance on the mortgage, assuming it’s in your name
Can also go to county, recorder of deeds and find out if a release deed has been filed, release of mortgage on your property. . .you need the property PIN from the tax bill, or can get it by the address. . . .often available online, but in person, also
