<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Typically in a case like
this, you need to have proof of ownership or the domain name needs
to have a history of pointing to the website of an established
business that had ownership. The fact that they shared a business
and there was no written agreement on the domain ownership makes
it very messy. I'm not a lawyer but it sounds like they need to
get a lawyer. <br>

No, it did not lapse. A business associate at the time who had
access to everything (emails, PINs, etc.) changed everything over
to herself without his approval.

But there are tools that look for the 'Who Is' history
of a domain:

Hopefully the original owner didnt use privacy
settings that would hide their info from a who is
lookup, but otherwise this should be able to help in
determining when ownership changed.</div>

trying to help someone who originally established a
URL in 2005. He was doing business with a partner
for the last several years and they have now broken
up their business arrangement (all very informal).
He has just realized that over the last few months
she has transferred his 2 domains to her own
ownership via Google and he is locked out of his
site and is no longer the “owner” on paper, as it
were.<br class="">
<br class="">
I spoke with Google this morning and understand that
they have a fraud process, but I was hoping someone
with experience might chat with me about things he
can do.<br class="">
<br class="">
One thing I was hoping to find was a historical
record of the ownership of the URL, but I have not
been successful with that. And that might not even
mean anything anyway…:(<br class="">
<br class="">
Any help much appreciated<br class="">
<br class="">
