Escrow & Title
In Colorado, the 'Grantee Index' maintained by the county clerk and recorder allows a title searcher to find:
AA. All instruments recorded by a particular grantor (seller)
BB. All instruments in which a particular person is named as grantee (buyer/recipient) — useful for finding all property someone has acquired✓ Correct
CC. All properties for sale in the county
DD. All property tax liens in the county
Explanation
County clerk and recorder offices maintain a dual index system: the Grantor Index (indexed by the name of the person conveying — finding all instruments a person has signed) and the Grantee Index (indexed by the name of the recipient). Title searchers use the Grantor Index to trace liens and conveyances by an owner and the Grantee Index to trace how they acquired the property.
