Document Sourcing

The chain references instruments you don't hold.

Exhibits cite recordings nobody can find, and the deal timeline doesn't wait for a courthouse trip. We locate the recorded instruments you're missing, pull them from county and public sources, and deliver them classified into your file structure. Retrieval is targeted from your citation lists and exhibits, so you get what the chain calls for and nothing you didn't ask for.

A missing instrument is an open question in the chain

You're working the chain and an exhibit cites a recorded assignment that isn't in the data room. The runsheet references a book and page nobody can produce. Somebody has to go get it, and the closing date isn't moving.

The usual answers are bad. A courthouse trip eats days you don't have. A bulk records pull buries you in instruments you didn't ask for, and you still have to find the ones you did. Meanwhile every citation you can't produce stays an open question, and "we'll assume it's standard" is not a position you want to defend at closing.

What you receive

  • Targeted recorded instrument recovery, driven by your citation lists and exhibits. We pull the specific instruments your chain calls for, not a bulk scrape of the county.
  • Courthouse document retrieval across county clerk, recorder, and public records sources: deeds, assignments, releases, probates, rights-of-way, whatever the citation names.
  • Pursuit of the hard ones. Partial book-and-page references, name variations, misindexed and re-recorded instruments. If it exists in the record, we run it down.
  • Every instrument delivered classified and organized into your existing file structure, named to your convention, ready to drop into the data room.
  • A delivery log matching each retrieved instrument to the citation it satisfies, with exceptions flagged plainly: found, not found as cited, or needs a decision.
  • Costs that stay controlled by design. Targeted retrieval means you pay to recover the instruments you need, not the county's entire grantor index.

Every instrument in the deliverable is tied to the exact citation that called for it, so you can trace any document in the file back to the exhibit or runsheet line it satisfies.

Experienced reviewers verify every match before delivery, confirming each instrument is the one your citation actually names and not the nearest hit in the index.
