A tract close to Elkhorn held in trust is legally owned by the trust, so the trustee, not the beneficiaries, is the contact.
Is the Walworth County parcel map proof of ownership?
Use the Walworth County map to locate the owner, then request the recorded deed; that document is the proof.
Does the Walworth County record list a phone number for the owner?
Phone numbers are not part of the Walworth County record, so a letter to the tax mailing address is the usual route.
Can I search Walworth County, Wisconsin property by owner name?
Usually yes; enter the last name only on the Walworth County parcel viewer and narrow the Walworth County results from there.
Why does the Walworth County, Wisconsin map display the previous owner?
The Walworth County parcel layer lags behind recorded deeds; check the deed index if a tract close to Elkhorn sold recently.
