    Talk to a real estate attorney.

    If it was paid in full through normal amortization (10 year mortgage paid in 10 years) then many states have title insurance laws that permit them to assume the loan has been paid in full. If it was paid off early, that will be a challenge to overcome. One way would be with your tax returns. If you suddenly stopped deducting interest that would help you prove the mortgage was paid. Also if you can get a copy of your credit report for 97 or 98, it may show the loan was satisfied. Do you have your bank records from 13 years ago?
