How To Search Public Records, Part #1

please click on the records to enlarge....

Step one : Google Osceola property appraisers office , your first entry should always be the county you want to search...... then look for Records Search tab and click on that, which should take you to a menu like this:
In the name box you want to enter a name, in my case I entered Fernandez Adalberto Jose

This is tricky and sometimes you have to experiment, with different combination of middle initials, surnames, first names, if you are not sure you might have to go by last name only and scroll through the list.....
After scrolling through the list and locating suspect record then you click on it to bring it up...
* In this example my eldest brother Adalberto Jose Fernandez waited until my mother had developed dementia to transfer her real estate over to him. Such crimes usually catch unsuspecting ,naive family members off guard, and short of a long and costly civil suit costing more than the property is worth there isn't much that can be done.

In this case the older brother Adalberto Jose Fernandez had all his life to convince his mother to
pass him title, however due to poor communications and ill feelings he never tried, but when Alzheimer's set in the golden opportunity presented itself.

The General rule in these cases is once the elderly couple starts to present signs of forgetfulness,dementia, Alzhaiermers, they are fair game and the first to get to them gets to keep the booty, as these deeds are very hard to reverse....

This is often the first step now you have to go research the mortgage conveyances for step #2
