Locating current home owners

[Jakub Bednarz]

Dear Fellow Investors,

I need your help. I found a home that is abandoned. I have checked all the available documents at my local county clerk's office, and found out that the owners of the property have passed away around December 2015. The house had a mortgage on it, but within the documents I found a release of lien from the bank dated July 2016. However, it doesn't state who may have paid it off, and who assumed the ownership. When I check the local tax office file for the property, the owners listed are the original owners that have passed away. There has been no activity around the home, and the neighbors told me that the bank has ownership of it, which I found to be untrue, since I saw the release of lien document. How else may I be able to find out who to contact in regards to the current ownership or this home? 

Thank you for your help in advance.
