What does a title processor do?

Answer 1

In a real estate-related capacity, a title processor is typically the person in a title agency who creates the new file, inputs known information into the file, orders property searches as well as the mortgage payoff information and any other items that need clearances (such as judgments, child support payments, etc.) The title processor may also be responsible for gathering documents from all parties involved prior to the closing and working on the file post-closing before the final Title Policy(ies)is issued.

In most states the title processor is not the title officer or attorney examining the title and producing Commitment or Opinion Letter.
