Hardin County: a careful place to begin.
For a Hardin County farm, begin with the county’s real-estate and GIS resource so the family can confirm which public record it is discussing before comparing private paperwork.

County property resource
Find the record before drawing conclusions.
County real-estate and GIS mapping resource for property-search and parcel research. County mapping can help identify a property record but is not a legal survey, title determination, legal description, or lease analysis.
Put the parcel in the file
Record the search reference, the date, and any questions it raises about access, acreage, or property identity. Keep those questions open until they are checked against the appropriate documents.
Keep public and private records distinct
A county map can complement the estate file, but it cannot validate a lease term or settle a question about ownership or boundaries on its own.
Decide what information the family needs in hand before it asks a tenant about the next crop year.
