Issues surfaced for you

Gaps in the chain, impossible chronologies, missing joinder, undocumented successions. TitleFlow flags issues and surfaces assumptions before you start reading.

Gap in chain: 1987 to 2003

No instrument connects Samuel D. Mercer to subsequent grantors for a 16-year period.

Missing spousal joinder

Warranty Deed #2 conveys homestead without spouse signature.

Undocumented succession

Surname matches prior grantee but no probate or will found in chain.

Assumption

Assumes ownership passed via unrecorded family transfer (surname: Mercer)

Lease primary term expired

3-year primary term lapsed Sept 2004. No extension or HBP clause found.

Reviewer Edition

Your notes, in context

Annotate any document or section with notes that stay anchored to the text. Build your analysis as you go. Your notes live alongside the instruments, not in a separate file.

J. Rodriguez · 2 hrs ago

Reservation language is ambiguous. “All minerals” vs. “oil, gas and other minerals” could be construed differently under the surface destruction test. Flag for senior review.

K. Lawson Resolved

Confirmed: pooling authority exists in primary lease, Section 4(b). No gap.

Title examination, reimagined

Every package is the same grind. Reading every page, chasing volume and page references, hoping nothing slipped through the chain. There's a better way.

Manual process

With TitleFlow

Documents in one place, runsheet in another. Flipping between files and a spreadsheet, matching filenames to instruments by hand.

Documents, runsheet, and extracted data side by side. Flip between instruments in a click, not a file explorer.

Read every page of every document by hand. Poor scans, faded ink, thousands of pages per package.

Documents transcribed and indexed automatically. Key data extracted and ready for your review.

Cross-reference volume and page citations across hundreds of instruments by hand, jumping between files to trace a single reference

Every volume and page citation hyperlinked. Click to jump straight to the cited instrument.

Gaps, wild deeds, and missing satisfactions hiding in the chain. You won't know until someone finds them.

Potential gaps, breaks, and anomalies surfaced for you automatically, before they become title objections.

Piece together the chain of title one instrument at a time, tracking every conveyance by hand

A working chain of title, built from your documents. You review the links, not hunt for them.
