For title agents, landmen, appraisers, and other land professionals, accurately tracing ownership history requires a search and review of court documents. In the past, this involved trekking to the courthouse, often wasting half a day or even more sifting through records. Today, CourthouseDirect’s Title Plants simplifies title research with each click of the mouse. In part 1 of “Tips and Tricks: Searching the Title Plant” we explored ways to refine your search and quickly locate desired records within the Title Plant.
Create Reports without Duplication
When creating a report - from sales to appraisals - duplicate information results in a lack of overall clarity. Within the Title Plant, information entered in two sections will not generate a report with duplicate information. Clear, accurate reports can be presented without worry of confusing the reader.
Sort by Date
Creating a timeline of ownership is an essential aspect of title research. During the course of your search, records previously sorted in chronological order may become rearranged. For a quick fix, click the “File Date” option, which will re-sort records to appear in order of filing. Using this tool helps you quickly find recent documents.
Go Paperless
From reports to images, go paperless and save resources when using the Title Plant. Between online record searches, the ability to edit and save reports digitally, and reviewing images, the Title Plant contributes to the creation of a green work environment. Equip your computer with a .tif reader to view images clearly.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Generating reports isn’t usually a favorite task, but it is a necessary one. Fortunately, the Title Plant simplifies the process of report creation so you can focus on more pressing issues. Within the Title Plant, generate a report of your choosing and simply copy and paste the information into your internal report.
