Title abstractors research historical documents to trace the ownership of a property back to its origin. They provide a summary of the property's legal history, including any liens, encumbrances, or restrictions that may affect its ownership. This information is crucial for real estate transactions to ensure a clear title transfer.
Title examiners are also commonly referred to as title searchers or title researchers. They are responsible for conducting searches on property titles to determine ownership history and reveal any liens or encumbrances on the property.
The title abstracting profession is not widely open to new members. There aren't enough open positions to generate a list of opportunities. In the past a title abstractor would acquire some legal background often via paralegal studies and apprentice with a real estate attorney for several years to acquire the skills needed to abstract land titles. The attorney would take an interest in educating the abstractor because she/he would eventually be writing title certifications based on the abstractor's work. The abstractor would work under the direct supervision of an attorney. Then came lower standards with thousands of inexperienced people performed "title searches" for extremely modest fees during the sub prime boom. New lawyers with no experience set up title companies and sent abstractors with no experience out to do title searches. That practice has resulted in thousands of title problems that will be costly to correct. Many of the "companies" that were hiring title abstractors were servicing sub prime lenders. No lawyers were involved and the abstractors knew little and learned nothing. Many of those companies are no longer in business. Also, the sub-prime crises and economic recession has drastically reduced the number of real estate transactions causing a similar reduction in the need for title abstractors. The need for title abstracts is at its lowest level in decades. There are many qualified title examiners presently unemployed. Many experienced title companies have closed and real estate law firms have closed their title divisions due to lack of work.
