Usually the local tax collector will have records that provide a starting point for tracking down the owner. A tax map will allow you to pinpoint the parcel identification, if you do not have a street address. Some collectors, assessors or auditors offices include references to deeds that will contain a legal description of the parcel and the name of the most recent grantor and grantee.

Now, you will know the recorded "legal" owner, which could be a trust or a holding company owned by others. Whether the chain of title to that point is valid, complete and legal is a question for your attorney. You may also discover that one or more people named as the owners are deceased, and you would then need to interpret the deed in light of a will or other probate process.

Also, there are possibly "equitable" owners, such as those who claim ownership through executed contracts of purchase and sale, or those who claim ownership by adverse possession.

What is the definition of a servient tract?

In law, the owner of a parcel of land may, because he owns that particular piece of land, have rights pertaining to the adjoining parcel of land. The most common of these is the right of way. The owner of parcel A has the right to travel over parcel B to get to and from parcel A, and there is nothing legal the owner of parcel B can do to stop it. In a case like this parcel A is called a "dominant tenement" and parcel B is called a "servient tenement". In some jurisdictions, where the word "tenement" has unfortunate connotations, the word "tract" might possibly be substituted.

What is a sentence for kids using the word parcel?

The mail man delivered the parcel. (meaning box) My mother opened the parcel after it was delivered. (box) Her father wanted to buy a parcel of land. (a portion of land) The problem of kids being disrespectful is part and parcel of a bigger problem. (The phrase "part and parcel" originates as a legal term to describe the land someone owns.) As I stood on a parcel of ground my 5th great-grandfather once owned, I held and looked through the parcel of family keepsakes that my parents handed down to me. We decided to bury a metal box containing a parcel of our family's heirlooms on a corner of the parcel of land that my 5th great-grandparents owned. I imagined they would like the pictures I placed into the box and wrapped it with a bow. I did not want the keepsakes parceled out to my siblings and cousins. (parceled out = split up among; divided up )
