Abstracting title and catching curative before closing
Two hundred tracts across three courthouses, and the survey crew is waiting on owner names.
Every instrument goes into your runsheet, cited to book and page, with curative items flagged.
Where the days actually go
Title work is reading, and most of the reading ends in retyping.
The days go to turning a stack of instruments into an abstract someone else can trust.
Your abstractor pulls the packet for a tract. Vesting deed, the deed before that, a mortgage, a release that may or may not exist, an old pipeline grant, an oil and gas lease, a probate record from 1962.
- One deed describes the tract by metes and bounds. The next says "being the same property" and points back two conveyances.
- A mortgage shows up with no release in the packet.
- A grantor signs alone in a state where the spouse should have signed too.
- Someone types all of it into your runsheet, tract by tract, and the PM checks it against the line list before owner names go out.
Revelry Ai does that pass first.
- Instruments get abstracted into your runsheet and your title report format.
- Every entry cites the instrument, book, and page it came from.
- Gaps in the chain, open mortgages, missing signatures, and legal descriptions that don't match the tract get flagged with the language that raised the flag.
Your title examiner still makes the call.
They open the flag, read the instrument, and decide whether it is curative or a quirk of how that county records. The question shows up the day the packet lands. There is still time to clear it before the offer letter goes out.
What it does not do
It does not search the courthouse. Your abstractors pull the records, online or at the counter, and Revelry Ai reads what they bring back. It does not render a title opinion or insure anything. Instruments too faint or too old to read with confidence get flagged for a person.
If courthouse access is your biggest time sink, say so on the call. There is document work around it worth talking about.
Your last title packet, abstracted live.
Bring a real tract packet to the demo. You will see it run on your instruments and your runsheet, with every entry cited.
