Only for knowing where to look. The town keeps some local records; deeds go to the town clerk of the town where the property sits; court records are at the county. Investigators plan searches around that structure.

Most records that matter in Capitol Planning Region are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the town clerk of the town where the property sits.

Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 91 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
