What to know
In a nonjudicial foreclosure, the recorded notice of sale and trustee deed often identify the trustee or substitute trustee. The county real-property index, foreclosure notice posting, and deed-of-trust records can help connect the sale to the person or firm that handled it.
Practical safeguards
The trustee may be an important contact because the county may not hold mortgage-surplus funds. Ask whether the sale completed, whether excess proceeds exist, where the funds are held, whether junior claims are pending, and what documentation is required.
