Abstract
A new method for recovery of tax revenues in lien status to federal, state or local taxing authorities, or any combination thereof, which revenues have to date remained previously undetectable and therefore uncollectable. The method involves a new use for the real property escrow process and utilizes a new, non-title related and previously unperformed tax lien search to be performed during the real property escrow process on any lienholder, for purposes of proceeds diversion to taxing authorities, against subject property in transaction status, when such lienholder is other than a regulated financial institution and with whom the subject property owner has no real property ownership relationship or interest.
