Poweshiek County: a careful place to begin.
A Poweshiek County family can begin with the auditor’s real-estate resource when it needs to line up transfer records, ownership references, and the paperwork passed down with the farm.

County property resource
Find the record before drawing conclusions.
County auditor real-estate records page with official property-search and mapping access guidance. Use a public search to locate records, not to establish title, confirm a boundary, interpret a lease, or determine the family’s legal rights.
Organize the transfer history
Write down where each parcel reference came from and whether it matches the estate file. That makes it easier to identify which questions belong with county records and which require a separate professional review.
Treat the lease as its own record
A real-estate lookup may help identify land, but it cannot tell the family whether an old lease copy, payment record, or verbal understanding is complete.
Set a shared deadline for collecting estate, lease, and payment documents before selecting a tenant contact person.
