What is Title Examination?

Title examination is the process of reviewing recorded documents to:

• Establish the chain of title (ownership history)
• Identify encumbrances (mortgages, liens, easements)
• Discover potential issues or defects
• Verify the seller has clear title to convey

The Runsheet

The runsheet is your primary tool for title examination. It presents all identified matters organized chronologically with:

• Entry numbers for tracking
• Matter types (conveyances, mortgages, liens, etc.)
• Recording information
• Status indicators (open, satisfied, etc.)

Automated Assistance

Platted automates much of the examination process:

• Documents are classified and data extracted
• Matters are identified and organized
• Status is tracked (open liens, satisfied mortgages)
• Related documents are linked

Your role is to review, verify, and make corrections as needed.
