The article appears to focus on a non-existent title business of the future. While it is true that on-line title records provide a benefit to title searchers, insurers and the public at large, the article does not recognize the fact that there are over 3,000 counties in the U.S. where land records need to be searched; that the vast majority of these counties have little or no online records,certainly not enough to glean the years worth of information that is necessary to determine easements on the property, restrictions, etc. And besides searching the Recorders Offices, there are District Courts, Federal Courts, Circuit Courts, Probate and Divorce Courts, Tax and Assessment Records, and Dozens of other locations that only an experienced abstractor/ title professional know how to deal with.Please read the article and share your thoughts on the industry.
