03Why it matters
Like $0 transfers, exempt conveyances often follow a life change and can come before a sale.
04Where it shows up in public records
The conveyance type recorded with the deed or in the county's sales file.
05How to find exempt conveyance (family / trust) in 3 steps
- Step 1, find the record: the conveyance type recorded with the deed or in the county's sales file.
- Step 2, match it to the property: join the record to the parcel by its parcel number and the owner's name and address, so you know which house it belongs to.
- Step 3, add a second reason: stack exempt conveyance (family / trust) with another list to see which owners have more than one reason to sell. LeadCounty does steps 1 and 2 for every property each week.
06How we count it
LeadCounty counts exempt conveyance (family / trust) from each county's own records and shows the number for every county in the table above, refreshed weekly. A county that does not publish the record shows no count rather than a guess.
07How to use it
- Check the date: recent exempt transfers are the most useful.
08Best stacks with exempt conveyance (family / trust)
One list gives you a reason; two or three lists together give you owners with several reasons at once. The stacks that work best with exempt conveyance (family / trust):
- Exempt conveyance (family / trust) + absentee owner: the owner gets the tax bill somewhere else, so the house is less personal to them.
- Exempt conveyance (family / trust) + owned 15+ years: 15+ years of ownership usually means paid-down debt and real equity.
