Trusts, LLCs, estates and mailing addresses

The mailing address on a county record tells a story: a bank or law office address near Green Bank hints at a trust or an estate. The Pocahontas County parcel layer reflect the assessor's last update, so a recent sale near Durbin may not appear yet.
Proof of ownership vs. the tax record
The parcel map is a tax record, so proof of ownership in Pocahontas County is the recorded deed. A deed book and page or instrument number on the record near Marlinton is the shortcut.
