You could visit your county recorder's office and
check the documents on file there. You could visit
Lexis/Nexis or KnowX or other information services on the
internet and, for a fee, check the public records.
You could order a title report. When all I want is
a simple title report, without insurance, I call
Advance Title Research, 510-538-0610, and they charge
$150.

You can call a title company and have them check. There may be a small fee, but you will know one way or the other.
