Sec.  274.6  Proof of property interest.

    The burden of proof is on a claimant to establish that the asserted 
property interest in a seized conveyance existed on the date of seizure 
of that conveyance by submission of sufficient satisfactory original 
documentation or certified copies of the original documentation. If the 
claimant fails to present documentation showing compliance with required 
state formalities it will be presumed that a property interest in a 
seized conveyance did not exist on the date of seizure of that 
conveyance.
