Recording deeds is a delicate
process. An error made when recording a deed could have serious
adverse effects on an owner’s future right to use or
sell the property. For this reason, recorders have developed
strict procedures for handling each transaction carefully
and accurately. These procedures are so ingrained that new
methods are rarely adopted, even while new technologies allow
the sender to deliver documents and data in a multitude of
different formats (Word, TIFF, Adobe Acrobat, etc.), and through
an increasing variety of media. No longer just hand-delivered
as paper copies, documents come on floppy disks, zip disks,
and jaz disks, and through faxes, emailed attachments, FTP,
and other means, making it difficult for the recorder to keep
organized records.
eRecording is a comprehensive online
document and data exchange system that allows title
companies to automate their recording processes with increased
accuracy and efficiency. eRecording provides
easy preparation of documents and allows for the use of
both hard copies and electronic documents in a variety of
file formats, including Word, WordPerfect, Acrobat, and
TIFF. eRecording automatically converts each different document
type to one common, unalterable format so it can be legally
authenticated and distributed electronically.
The system’s open architecture allows it to be modified
to accommodate any state’s existing workflow. Transitioning
to eRecording is easy, too. eRecording’s open architecture
makes it easy to create an electronic process that mimics
a company’s existing paper process, eliminating development
costs and the need to create new administrative procedures.
