I Have A Title And Bill Of Sale For A Mobile Home That No Longer Exists.

Card image cap

Location: Illinois

In 1988 my mother purchased a house in a rural area. It had a 3rd driveway, further from the main house but still on the property. For a few years she had an old trailer (1965 Pacemaker) on it as a small rental property.

Overtime she stopped renting it out, but didn't maintain upkeep on the trailer. As a result, the trailer rusted out and disingrated.

In November 2022 my mother passed without a will and I am her only next of kin. Due to circumstances I chose to let the main house (and the property) go into foreclosure. I did pull out all the paperwork and items that I wanted/could donate/sell.

One of the many pieces of paperwork is the title to trailer that has gone back to the earth.

Bullet points:

It appears to be a copy of the title.

It is a "corrected" title.

It has the owners name and address on (a RR address prior to us getting 911 access).

It also has the lien holder address on it.

I do not know the people listed, if they are still in the area, or if they are still living.

Can I shred it since it's a copy? Or do I need to take it the records department at the courthouse?

I realize this seems like a stupid question but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here.
