Best Answer

Any types of legal documents become public once they are filed. That includes any documents that affect the ownership of real property. All land records are public. Most probate records are also public. Those include such categories as estates, guardianships, conservatorships, equity actions, divorces, testamentary trusts, etc. Any cases that have been impounded, paternity cases and adoptions are not public. Complaints made to city licensing departments are public, for example, complaints about an establishment that serves alcohol.
