Check the real estate records with the county register of deeds. If there is a mortgage on the property, it will have been recorded. Many counties have these records available for access online. There may be a nominal charge to search or retrieve copies of the documents.

All mortgages are recorded like deeds in the county where the property is located. Check the county recorder's office if you have one. Also try the assessor or treasurer if necessary.
