        If you are unable to find contact information for the bank or trustee listed on the Deed of Trust, you can try the following:

        1. Check with the county recorder's office: The county recorder's office maintains records of all property transactions in the area. You can contact them and inquire about the status of the Deed of Trust.

        2. Hire a title search company: Title search companies specialize in researching property ownership and can investigate the status of the Deed of Trust.

        3. Check with the state banking department: The state banking department regulates banks and financial institutions operating in the state. They may be able to provide you with information on the bank or trustee listed on the Deed of Trust.

        4. Ask a real estate attorney: A real estate attorney can help you investigate the status of the Deed of Trust and advise you on your next steps.
